[Samba] Active Directory domain controller authentication order

Thanks,

I've found the following, as I only have read-only access to the sites and
services stuff:
* Our subnet is associated with our site definition.
* Under our site --> Servers, only the local domain controller is listed.

I also googled around and found out about "set l" on the command line, which
shows our local DC.  But I'm not sure how useful this is, because the VPN
tunnel has been broken for a couple days and the logins are more recent than
that.
