If one of your two DC's is still working flawless you can try to move
all fsmo roles to that server and rejoin the other one.
DC=DOMAINDNSZONES can become pretty huge since it keeps all the deleted
dns entries for 6 month by default.
To shrink it you can tdbbackup the ldb file and use that dumped file
which should be smaller. Stop samba run tdbbackup and copy the backup to
the original location.
Seems tdbbackup works on dc1 for
DC=DOMAINDNSZONES,DC=SAMBA,DC=COMPANY,DC=COM.ldb maybe using the backup
fixes your issues.
