I believe may be experiencing the same problem.
Today I upgraded from 3.0.22 to 3.0.23a.
I am using "security = ads" and at first everything worked ok.
However, when I tried to access previously mapped share after some
period of inactivity, I started getting errors like this:

get_dc_list: returning 10 ip addresses in an unordered list

As Rex Dieter above I can confirm that those IP addresses are coming
totally "out of the blue".

I fixed this issue by setting the parameter "password server = " to
the fixed of our LDAP servers. However, I can also confirm that
version 3.0.22 worked ok and did not need this parameter.
