I think I know why, it's because there is a in dns_conf.pl a
 gethostbyname("$unix_box".".".$sys_default_domain );
that may not give right answer the first time you setup

I should look better what happens, 
A better solution would be to ask the DNS to look in a ldap table
updated at group creation.
This is or will be possible with the new bind version.
But I only did what I found in the original SF for this.

Normaly this should be done by rndc, it works, but after an
undeterminate time
bind stops to answer, even if the process don't crash
I'm not sure that SIGHUP has not the same effect after some time.
And it's really boring to see your subdomain deseapear from the DNS

I didn't make search about the problem, and don't know if it's known,
solve, or whatever
If you have some time for this let me know what you find.
