[Samba] switching winbind's ad without reboot?

The IT department is phasing in new Active Directory servers, during
work ours, and I need to get all my systems using winbind for
authentication to switch to the new servers, and hopefully without a
reboot.
I tried to redirect a machine currently authenticating via the current
AD to the new AD, but even after restarting all the winbind, smbd, nmbd
processes, I see it still pointing to the old AD.
After rebooting, it points to the new server.
Trying to fool samba by adding a line to /etc/hosts didn't work either.
Is there a slick non-reboot method?
-----BEFORE CHANGE----
krb5.conf contains:
[realms]
MY.DOMAIN.COM = {
kdc = 192.168.0.1
admin_server = 192.168.0.1
default_domain = my.domain.com
}
smb.conf contains:
security = ADS
password server = ad1.my.domain.com
----AFTER CHANGE----
[realms]
MY.DOMAIN.COM = {
kdc = 192.168.0.2
admin_server = 192.168.0.2
default_domain = my.domain.com
}
smb.conf contains:
security = ADS
password server = ad2.my.domain.com
The way I know the system is pointing to the old ad server is by doing
wbinfo -g
followed by
lsof -i tcp -nP |grep winbind
