First, upgrade to the latest version of jcifs because there were some
bugs in the handling of the DC list.

JCIFS should handle this automatically. When jcifs rotates to a new
DC it tries to negotiate with it to see if it's "good". If it isn't it
removes it from the list. This process should not "hang".

Try 1.1.9 first and tell us how it goes. There are a variety of things
you can do to make it work well all of which is documented.
