Hi,

Here is the description of use of the current version of the "x-dnssrv" extension through some examples:

CONTEXT OF EXAMPLE : /etc/resolv.conf: search gov.pf nameserver localhost

/var/named/pz/gov.pf: $ORIGIN gov.pf. ... _ldap._tcp IN SRV 0 1 389 ldap IN SRV 1 1 389 ldap1.backup.gov.pf. IN SRV 1 1 390 ldap2.backup.gov.pf. ...

and /var/named/pz/backup.gov.pf: $ORIGIN backup.gov.pf. ... _ldap._tcp IN SRV 0 1 389 ldap0 IN SRV 0 1 389 ldap1 ...

LDAP URI EXAMPLES FOR THE "x-dnssrv" EXTENSION: For: "ldap:///ou=person,dc=gov,dc=pf??sub??x-dnssrv=dc=gov%2cdc=pf" -> the result URI will be: "ldap://ldap.gov.pf.:389/ou=person,dc=gov,dc=pf??sub \ ldap://ldap1.backup.gov.pf.:389/ou=person,dc=gov,dc=pf??sub \ ldap://ldap2.backup.gov.pf.:390/ou=person,dc=gov,dc=pf??sub"

For: "ldap:///????x-dnsSRV=gov.pf." -> the result URI will be: "ldap://ldap.gov.pf.:389 ldap://ldap2.backup.gov.pf.:390 / ldap://ldap1.backup.gov.pf.:389"

For: "ldap:///dc=gov%2cdc=pf????x-dnssrv" -> the result URI will be: "ldap://ldap.gov.pf.:389/dc=gov%2cdc=pf \ ldap://ldap1.backup.gov.pf.:389/dc=gov%2cdc=pf \ ldap://ldap2.backup.gov.pf.:390/dc=gov%2cdc=pf"

For: "ldap://gov.pf.:389/????x-dnssrv" -> the result URI will be: "ldap://ldap.gov.pf.:389 ldap://ldap1.backup.gov.pf.:389"

For: "ldap:///????x-dnssrv[,extension]*" -> because of resolv.conf, the result URI will be: "ldap://ldap.gov.pf.:389/????[extension[,extension]*]* \ ldap://ldap1.backup.gov.pf.:389/????[extension[,extension]*]* \ ldap://ldap2.backup.gov.pf.:390/????[extension[,extension]*]*"

WARNING: "ldap://goov.pf./????x-dnssrv" -> give: "" "ldap://gov.pf./????x-dnssrv,x-dnssrv=dc=backup%2cdc=gov%2cdc=pf" -> give: "ldap://ldap.gov.pf.:389/????x-dnssrv=dc=backup%2cdc=gov%2cdc=pf \ ldap://ldap2.backup.gov.pf.:389/????x-dnssrv=dc=backup%2cdc=gov%2cdc=pf \ ldap://ldap1.backup.gov.pf.:390/????x-dnssrv=dc=backup%2cdc=gov%2cdc=pf"

"ldap:///o=gov%2cc=pf????x-dnssrv" correct, but because of default the domain research ... -> give: "ldap://ldap.gov.pf.:389/????x-dnssrv=dc=backup%2cdc=gov%2cdc=pf \ ldap://ldap1.backup.gov.pf.:390/????x-dnssrv=dc=backup%2cdc=gov%2cdc=pf \ ldap://ldap2.backup.gov.pf.:389/????x-dnssrv=dc=backup%2cdc=gov%2cdc=pf"

SYNTAX ERROR (the resultant URI will remain unchanged): "ldap://ldap.gov.pf/dc=gov%2cdc=pf????x-dnssrv=dc=gov%2cdc=pf" "ldap://ldap.gov.pf/????x-dnssrv=dc=gov%2cdc=pf" "ldap://ldap.gov.pf/????x-dnssrv=gov.pf." "ldap://dc=gov%2cdc=pf/????x-dnssrv" "ldap://gov.pf[/[?[?[?[?]]]]]" etc ...

I proceed in the last check of sources and I post patchs (open.c & dnssrv.c) ... -- PE
