[0/1] cifs-utils: CLDAP-Ping to find the correct site

Message

Hi All,

we are using a global AD domain and all CIFS shares are only referenced
by DFS entries. As our AD has more then 30 DCs the default random lookup
on mounts sometimes leads to strange network timeouts and other
problems.

The IPv4 path is tested on our setup on multiple sites, but sadly we can't
test IPv6 code path here - I hope it's anyways correct.

My C skills are a little bit rusty, let's hope that I didn't overlook
some pointer-foo :-)

Kind Regards,
David
