Reminder that I had exactly the same problem trying to join an Arch
Linux system to my domain, and the client definitely resolved to a FQDN
via /etc/hosts:
192.168.1.84 erap-gnome.ea.linuxcs.com erap-gnome
The work around is to create the DNS record using samba-tool on the DC:
# samba-tool dns add samba-dc ea.linuxcs.com erap-gnome A
192.168.1.84 -U administrator
# samba-tool dns add samba-dc 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa 84 PTR
erap-gnome.ea.linuxcs.com -U administrator
