[nssldap] More patches to nss_ldap 265

["Howard Wilkinson" <howard [at] cohtech.com>]

I have just uploaded 3 more patches to the nss_ldap 265 code. These have all 
been attached to the bug #412.
 
The patches deal with reconnection timeouts and SRV record sorting.

1.      
        A simple change to make the logic handling maxsleeptime work as 
originally intended. The change in behaviour is to enforce the maxsleeptime 
option as a barrier to the increase of the backoff time rather than as at 
present where it the backoff could grow to almost twice the maxsleeptime.
2.      
        A change to increase the accuracy of the sleep periods - the system can 
now be configured down to nanosecond level - although the actual accuracy will 
depend on the systems ability to handle such durations accurately. A further 
modification in this patch adds alternative backoff growth algorithms so that 
the exponential backoff growth is now a default rather than the only option.
3.      
        Code in the dnsconfig area that allow the sorting of the SRV records by 
priority and weight. This allows data centre configuration of complex load 
balancing strategies.

If anybody has the time to try these out (along with my other patches) and 
report back I would be grateful for the feedback. Also, if anybody has a 
working Solaris 10 build for this code (with or without my patches) could they 
send me the details as I need to make sure my changes will build and operate on 
the Solaris platform.
