I think as long as persist in chasing pointless ends, you will continue
to fail.

DNS & AD are not at issue here. Samba 3 cannot provide AD services.

If resolution is a problem, it may be that you don't have nmb running on
your Samba server and you probably want it to be a wins server if it is
a Domain Controller.
