Following the wiki
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Samba_as_a_Domain_Member#Preparing_the_Installation

# nslookup
> set type=SRV
> _ldap._tcp.test-server.lan
Server: 10.0.0.13
Address: 10.0.0.13#53

_ldap._tcp.test-server.lan service = 0 100 389 dc1.test-server.lan.

I'm not getting the same results.  This is all I get.
