samba - Nov 2003 - PDC recognizing Domain machines: No problem, only Question

I understand that when we join a machine to the domain we get entries in both 
/etc/passwd and /etc/samba/smbpasswd (config specific).  I would like to ask 
if there is a point at which a PDC doesn't not recognize a machine as 
belonging to the domain.

BACKGROUND
In my smb.conf I have the line:
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

So that in /var/log I get machine specific log files.  All is well. However I 
also get additional files.  If I ls /var/log I get something like:

#ls /var/log
log.0.0.0.0
log.10.1.1.1
log.10.1.1.2
log.10.1.1.175
log.10.1.1.53
log.10.1.2.43
log.10.1.2.201
log.compute
log.admin1
log.admin4
log.security3
log.fileserver1

Where the named logged files are machines, and the IP'd logged files are
also
machines.  

Is there a point at which the PDC does not know the name of a domain member 
and so write its log as an IP?  Also who is writing log.0.0.0.0?

I'm thinking that the PDC requires the SID of the machine in order to 
recognize it?

Just looking for some type of explanation for this strange behaviour I see in 
my log dir.

Cheers
Jeff
