That might help: Samba 4.6.5

The log file is /var/log/samba/log.%m

It is filling up with useless (to me at this point in time) dns 
resolution information.

smb.conf:

[global]
         netbios name = FS105
         realm = STLUCASUCC.LAN
         workgroup = STLUCASUCC
         netbios aliases = fs1
         interfaces = 192.168.0.10/24 <http://192.168.0.10/24>
         dns forwarder = 8.8.8.8
         server role = active directory domain controller
         idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes
         template shell = /bin/bash
         template homedir = /home/%U
         log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
         log level = 0 passdb:2 auth:2 winbind:2 locking:2
         max log size = 30
         cups options = raw
         load printers = no
         printing = bsd
         printcap name = /dev/null
         disable spoolss = yes
         local master = yes
         os level = 250
         name resolve order = bcast lmhosts host wins

[netlogon]
         path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/stlucasucc.lan/scripts
         read only = No

[sysvol]
         path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol
         read only = No
[vol1]
         valid users = @staff
         writeable = yes
         path = /home/smb/vol1
         read only = no
         inherit permissions = yes
         create mask = 0777
         directory mask = 777
         Force group = staff
         create mode = 0664

[homes]
         path = /home/%U
         read only = no
         root preexec = bash -c '[[ -d /home/%U ]] || mkdir -p -m 0700 
/home/%U && chown %U:users /home/%U'
