No, this is incorrect.  Samba's authentication code makes a new
connection to the DC every time a user authenticates.  In Samba 3.0, we
have a connection caching system with winbind, but this also
automatically reconnects if/when we loose connectivity.

We will need much more information as to what you are doing here, and
why you think it's failing.  Samba versions, windows versions etc.  Are
you using winbind?
