And what do you think about : ldap://.nameOfSrvDomainSearch/ ('.' at begining of the hostname to say "use SRV record" of this domain - search domain(s) if only '.') ?... -- pe

I'm not quite sure if it's a good idea to move ldap SRV lookup into ldap_initialize(), since ldap:/// is also means "this LDAP server" in referral objects and some slapd backends. Possibly some other syntax should be used to say "use SRV record", e.g. "ldap://./", or another function could work like ldap_initialize() but be more clever. Though a helper function which copies clients/tools/common.c:tool_conn_setup() functionality could in any case be useful.

Also note that _ldap._tcp.domain is of limited utility outside Windows-land, because Microsoft annexed it for Active Directory: On a site which has Windows and Active Directory, _ldap._tcp.domain is normally required to refer to Active Directory. Thus if such a site uses another LDAP server for their public LDAP data, they can't _ldap._tcp.domain for that.
