[Samba] Why (&(objectClass=sambaDomain)(sambaDomainName=SARDINE))?

[Adam Tauno Williams]

I have a member server that is constantly querying the LDAP server with -
(&(objectClass=sambaDomain)(sambaDomainName=SARDINE)) 
- when security=domain and workgroup=backbone.  The server DOES authenticate
domain users, and everything seems to work,  but this draining resources.

This is RH9, Samba 3.0.3pre2 (although I'm pretty certain I saw this on 3.0.2)
and OpenLDAP openldap-2.1.25-1 (local replicant).
