Folks,

Here's a small patch for implementing what MS calls "server
affinity".  It's the idea that we should give preference to
the DC that we last successfully connected to.  For example,
winbindd should use the same server that 'net ads join' utilized
in order to avoid problems due to domain replication.

The patch itself is at
http://www.samba.org/~jerry/patches/samba-3.0.21b-affinity.patch

For those of you interested in bazaar-ng, I'm also posting my
tree (based on the recent SAMBA_3_0 svn branch) at
http://www.samba.org/~jerry/bzr/samba-3-0.dev.gwc

This is not mean to be a permanent tree or a replacement for
the svn repo.  I'm just experiementing to see whether or not
we can improve our development model with new tools.  I'm using
the bzr development tree
