Is it possible to fork multiple child Winbindd processes and setup multiple connections to the primary DC?

[Hou, Kevin]

Hi Michael,

I searched Samba code repository and found you ever committed the code change to support "winbind max domain connections". Would you tell me from which Samba version this parameter is supported?

Thanks!

Regards,
Kevin
