Update of /data/cvs/samba/source/include
In directory samba:/tmp/cvs-serv19567/include

Modified Files:
	proto.h 
Log Message:
First cut toward adding WINS server failover.

*Note: failover doesn't actually work yet!*  It's just that the code I'm
adding provides all of the pieces necessary.

I do have one big question.  Something that I'll have to ask Jeremy, I'm
thinkin'.  In nmbd/nmbd_subnetdb.c the IP of the WINS server is used to
set up the Unicast subnet.

...so what happens if the WINS server changes?

My guess is either:
  a) nothing.
  b) I'd have to change the unicast subnet entry whenever the WINS server
     changes.

Urq.

BTW, the lp_wins_server() function no longer returns the WINS server name
or IP.  It returns the list of WINS servers entered in smb.conf.  To get
the currently 'live' WINS server, use the wins_srv() function.

Fun, eh?
