[jcifs] Can we configure a backup domain controller in jCIFS

[Kannan Jayaprakash]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply.

I understand that DnsSrv.patch can be used for Failover/Load Balancing.
Can you let me know about how I can go about implementing this. 

Regards,
Kannan

There's a patch in the patches directory that implements load balancing
using DNS instead of WINS. It's call DnsSrv.patch.
