...isn't
even a valid internet hostname.
The same thing happens in our case. Samba queries the referral:
GET_DFS_REFERRAL query:
File: \w92dfs1\DFS\profiles\j\jmorzins
Samba gets an answer:
GET_DFS_REFERRAL answer:
Path: \w92dfs1\DFS\profiles\j
Node: \profiler3.mit.edu\homes3$\j
Samba is confused by the answer, and tries to connect to the wrong host:
DNS query:
Query: profiler3.mit.eduhome3$
DNS answer:
Host profiler3.mit.eduhome3$ not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
NOTE: this referral answer is only three levels deep: \A\B\C.
Deeper levels are possible: \A\B\C...
