I think the 'flooding' is because he has numerous domain controllers and we
all know that the netlogon service will register this blank domain FQDN
(also called the LdapIpAddress) for AD domain communication, to actually
identify the DCs.

Just to point out for T0GGLe, this is essential when it comes to DFS and
applying GPOs because the GetGpoList function from the client side
extensions when it looks for GPOs to be applied to the machine, will query
for this record:

\\domain.com\sysvol\domain.com\policies\{ThePolicy'sLongGuidNumberHere}

T0GGLe,
Notice \\domain.com at the beginning of the UNC? DNS is queried to resolve
that. The answer is the LdapIpAddress, or the (same as parent) IP address.

Don't alter or delete these.
