[Samba] Taking down domain controller and I don't want to upset winbind

Hi,
I use ads and have a windows domain with several domain controllers
(dc1, dc2, dc3, etc). Winbind seems to "be connected" to one of these
domain controllers:
wbinfo -P
checking the NETLOGON for domain[MYDOMAIN] dc connection to
"dc1.mydomain.local" succeeded
Presumably winbind learned that "dc1" was a domain controller by
performing a DNS lookup of type SRV on
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.mydomain.local
I will be permanently turning off dc1. There are plenty of other
domains to choose from (all listed at DNS/SRV). When dc1 is
unavailable, will winbind continue to attempt connections to dc1 (and
fail) or will it try "the next domain controller" in the DNS/SRV list
(and succeed)?
Thank you,
Chris
