When you say the '@', you are referring to the SOA record aren't you ?
If so, they should be there, all AD DC's are domain masters, it is what
is described as multi-master.
However, if you have two network devices in a DC, you need to stop
Samba using one of them. You can do this with a couple of smb.conf
parameters:
interfaces
bind interfaces only
See 'man smb.conf' for how to use them.
