Why do clents and my new E2k3 server that exists in the root forest

I have a root domain 'parent.com'. I have a child domain
'child.parent.com'. Lately I've been noticing on my router syslogs
that some of my XP clients on parent.com have been hitting the child
ADC over tcp 389 and 88. Also, a new E2k3 server I built on
parent.com last week is hitting/receiving traffic over tcp 3268 & 389
to/from the child ADC. Shouldn't this traffic be directed to the
parent.com ADC/GC? I've also noticed that the E2k3 server is sending
Echo requests to the child ADC about every 10 mins.

I've checked my 2 parent ADC's and they are both GC's.

Any help would be appreciated.
