[Samba] Sysvol not accessible?

[Ryan Ashley]

I may have just solved this. I realized I could access \\dc01\sysvol and
\\dc02\sysvol but I randomly could not access \\domain\sysvol for some
unknown reason. I did "host -t A domain" and got THREE addresses back,
but I only have TWO DCs. With that said, I imagine the systems are
randomly being referred to the third, non-existent DC and failing. I
will be researching this shortly and if it fixes the issue, I will
report it.
