I am not running multiple Samba servers like this, but I think it
should work. Double-check that the DNS entries for the second domain
controller are correct.
So:
$ host your.zone
your.zone has address 10.0.0.1
your.zone has address 10.0.0.2
$ host s1.your.zone
s1.your.zone has address 10.0.0.1
$ host s2.your.zone
s2.your.zone has address 10.0.0.2
$ host gc._msdcs.your.zone
gc._msdcs.your.zone has address 10.0.0.1
gc._msdcs.your.zone has address 10.0.0.2
$ host -t srv _gc._tcp.your.zone
_gc._tcp.your.zone has SRV record 0 100 3268 s1.your.zone.
_gc._tcp.your.zone has SRV record 0 100 3268 s2.your.zone.
$ host -t srv _ldap._tcp.your.zone
_ldap._tcp.your.zone has SRV record 0 100 389 s1.your.zone.
_ldap._tcp.your.zone has SRV record 0 100 389 s2.your.zone.
etc.
Also make sure that the various ports are accessible from the clients.
