[Samba] Active Directory domain controller authentication order

[Casey Allen Shobe]

Hello,

I'm curious if anybody knows how to configure the order in which domain
controllers are contacted by clients for authentication purposes and other
such stuff.  I've a situation where it seems that all our Windows computers
are attempting to authenticate off of a remote server before the local one,
which is backwards.  I'm not even certain where to check what they are
actually attempting to authenticate against, but whenever a VPN tunnel we
have to an upstream office breaks, logins and file share browsing and other
stuff slows to a crawl.

Thanks for any hints,
