Well, if sales.company.com doesn't exist on the Internet for any useful
purpose, no harm in leaving it in place as your AD DNS namespace. It may
actually be preferable over using .local or .kitten or .whatnot. I often
use internal.company.com or local.company.com.

Why? Are you worried that the current installation is full of problems?
Don't make more work for yourself ...I'm no clustering expert, but I think
you don't want to muck around with something that works.
