So I tested Windows to see how Windows does it. I set my Windows Server
as the PDC Emulator and after some time the record at
_ldap._tcp.pdc._msdcs. was set to the server only. When I transferred
the PDC roll back to Samba the record for the Windows server remained
but Samba added a record pointing to Samba. It seems that the only real
issue with Samba is that it isn't cleaning up the old record.
I hope this is useful to someone.
