You should not force Samba to connect to a specific server, in the
smb.conf or krb5.conf.  Instead, it is best to let Samba find and work
with the best server it can locate for the task.  That is, you join
Samba to the domian, not a specific server.

I can't rule out that there may still be issues if we naturally contact
the RODC, but to debug that you need to get debug logs and a packet
capture and work with us to uncover the underlying issue.
