28 * This module implements WINS failover.
30 * Microsoft's WINS servers provide a feature called WINS replication,
31 * which synchronises the WINS name databases between two or more servers.
32 * This means that the two servers can be used interchangably (more or
33 * less). WINS replication is particularly useful if you are trying to
34 * synchronise the WINS namespace between servers in remote locations, or
35 * if your WINS servers tend to crash a lot.
37 * WINS failover allows the client to 'switch' to a different WINS server
38 * if the current WINS server mysteriously disappears. On Windows
39 * systems, this is typically represented as 'primary' and 'secondary'
42 * Failover only works if the WINS servers are synced. If they are not,
44 * a) if the primary WINS server never fails the client will never 'see'
45 * the secondary (or tertiary or...) WINS server name space.
46 * b) if the primary *does* fail, the client will be entering an
47 * unfamiliar namespace. The client itself will not be registered in
48 * that namespace and any names which match names in the previous
49 * space will likely resolve to different host IP addresses.
51 * One key thing to remember regarding WINS failover is that Samba does
52 * not (yet) implement WINS replication. For those interested, sniff port
53 * 42 (TCP? UDP? ...dunno off hand) and see what two MS WINS servers do.
55 * At this stage, only failover is implemented. The next thing is to add
56 * support for multi-WINS server registration and query (multi-membership).
58 * Multi-membership is a little wierd. The idea is that the client can
59 * register itself with multiple non-replicated WINS servers, and query
60 * all of those servers (in a prescribed sequence) to resolve a name.
62 * The implications of multi-membership are not quite clear. Worth
63 * trying, I suppose. Changes will be needed in the name query and
64 * registration code to accomodate this feature. Also, there will need to
65 * be some sort of syntax extension for the 'wins server' parameter in
66 * smb.conf. I'm thinking that a colon could be used as a separator.
68 * Of course, for each WINS namespace there might be multiple, synced WINS
69 * servers. The change to this module would likely be the addition of a
70 * linked list of linked lists.

78 * NECROMANCYCLE - The dead server retry period, in seconds. When a WINS
79 * server is declared dead, wait this many seconds before
80 * attempting to communicate with it.
