[PATCH] An option in 'net ads dns' command to remove a DNS hostname

[Hemanth Thummala]

Currently domain leave (net ads leave) is not taking care of dns unregister. I am not sure if this is intentional. It would be good to cleanup the DNS entries once we are leaving the domain. This unregister code can be more useful during domain leave.

Thanks,
Hemanth.
