Samba Domain Member Slow Authentication

I have a Samba 4 domain controller set up with about 100 member computers connected to it on a private LAN.

As I was rolling this out, I found a couple clients that were improperly configured with the wrong DNS address after a reboot and it took about 10 minutes to log in as a local user to fix it. Is there any kind of timeout that you can configure to make that 30s or less? I need all of these machines to allow local users to log on relatively quickly.
