I can say that I have seen this behavior when running inside a 
container, the internal container address is added to the DNS, and if 
you remote it from DNS, it is latter re added as you experience.

Our workaround has been to run the container using the host networking 
namespace, but Samba should be able to bind to a internal address with 
som,e way to tell it which one will be the real public address, be it 
forwarded by the container manager or from the host VM to the VM ip address.

In the case of VMs with current Samba behavior, you will need to bridge 
your VM instead of NATing them and forwarding ports.
