FW: Winbindd timeout on unreacheable domains

Hi Andrew/All,

	ok I've done a snoop to see what's going on (zip password is "snoop"). Basically the timeout is caused by something repeatedly trying to contact an IP which cannot be resolved by ARP (44 failed ARP requests), you can see many failed arp lookups. I beleive the part which finally resolves the timeout is as follows,


396   0.70071 bbcwwp-sun29 -> wwdc.testlan.bbc.co.uk NBT NS Query Request for CHILD1[1c], Success
397   0.00146 169.254.48.167 -> bbcwwp-sun29 NBT NS Query Response for CHILD1[1c], Success

192.254.48.167? is that a dummy address which Samba is generating after finally timing out? It's definately not a valid IP on my test network,

	thanks Andy.

The thing that would benefit me most would probably be a network trace. 
(To me personally would probably be best).

What I'm trying to pin down is 'what is waiting'.  If it is LDAP
connect() calls, then we might consider using code we already have to
make the LDAP connection attempt time-out sooner - likewise, there are
configuration settings in resolv.conf, for how long a DNS query may take
to timeout.
