Hi Guys<BR>
<BR>
Currently the CIFS code only parses and returns the first target of a<BR>
multi-target DFS referral, this patch fixes multi-target DFS referrals.<BR>

After testing and playing with DFS and DFS failover, I discovered that<BR>
the code was not parsing the DFS referral link correctly and only<BR>
returning the first target of a multi target path, this patch fixes the<BR>
issue and allow Linux CIFS to handle DFS failover.<BR>
<BR>
I have only test my scenario which is DFS referrals based users home<BR>
directory locations, i.e. <BR>
<BR>
> test-home -> msdfs:test-samba2.xxxx.com\test-home,test-samba1.xxxx.com\test-home<BR>
<BR>
I have not tested true DFS failover since I do not have the resources<BR>
available.<BR>
<BR>
Hope this helps<BR>
