Looks like netdiag skipped the dc discovery test.

Could you run:

netdiag /l /v /test:dsgetdc

Another thing to try is to add an entry to the LMHost file of that client:

1.2.3.4 Servername #PRE #DOM:domainname.local

You said it was funny that it didn't like this client was using DNS to find
the DC, maybe this will help.
