[Samba] DomainDnsZone Replication Shows 200,000 Objects

[lp101]

     It looks like 15,000 records have been deleted over a period of 8 
hours. This was after changing the attribute to 30 days. Do you know how 
to force replication for the Domain DNS Deleted Objects? Replicating the 
DominDnsZones using Samba-tool drs replicate doesn't appear to replicate 
these objects.
     I've attempted to join a DC again over a 1.5Mbit Wan link using 
Samba 4.1.4 on Ubuntu 12.04. At this moment I'm over 19hrs in with 
312355/385196 replicated. I joined using "--domain-critical-only" 
thinking it may exclude these items but I was wrong.
