Winbindd will maintain connections as long as possible.  
Restart winbindd and see if it doesn't bind to the BDC.  
My guess is that you joined the domain and imeediately 
started the daemon.  Since this was withing the 15 minutes 
period that winbindd decides it must bind to the PDC, it 
simply kept those connections up as long as possible.

If it still binds to the PDC after restarting, then send 
me a level 10 debug of from winbindd off list and I'll take 
a look at it.  Also include what version you are using (if you 
mentioned it before, I forgot).
