I came over similar problem - samba BDC was unable to contact samba PDC,
because it tried to contact nonexistent ip address.

Resolution was following: first, add ip of PDC to /etc/samba/lmhosts as
DOMAINNAME#1B on BDC. Then disable bcast name resolution in both smb.conf and
flush caches on DCs with net cache flush.

The reason for disabling bcast resolution is that windows workstations do
caching also. So the data cannot expire for real, they are just moved around
forever.
