ok,

so , still asking the samba list, where it is clear samba has its own behavior.
see the /var/cache/samba/smb_krb5/krb5.conf.<DOMAIN>  file for example.


Then , I wanted to try how the failover would behave if the SRV
_kerberos-master._udp.<DOMAIN> record was present. But my Active Directory admin
says he has indeed the _kerberos._XX SRV record, but that he is not proposed
with the choice to add a _kerberos-master. record in the AD DNS system.

Has anyone stepped upon such a problem ?
