This probably needs more testing, especially on the Samba side of things
before this is accepted as fix.  I can't speak on the Samba side myself,
as I have no reason to join my *nix machines to our AD, so I don't, but
if Samba emulates the lookups that Windows clients perform, this will
still break things badly.

Client does DNS lookup for domain.local to return _svr records to tell
the workstation where they can find LDAP/Global Catalog (login) servers.
I have no idea if this affects *nix Samba clients in the same way.
