[Samba] Don't use .local

[Achim Gottinger]

Hello,

I deployed an Samba 4 AD back in 2013 with .local, not knowing it can 
cause troubles with mDns.
On my linux server i did not install avahi and i do not have mDns in my 
nsswitch.conf hosts entry.
On windows machines i usually deinstall bonjour whenever it shows up and 
i do not install it when installing itunes.
Till now i have not had any dns resolve issues, still i'd like to change 
it to .loc or similar without having to reprovision ad.
Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,
Achim
