DNS-query for the SRV record. Returns referral.
Implemented by adapting DNS back-end code of OpenLdap v. 2.0.7

DC/X521 gatewaymore heuristic approaches
Adapt the domain part of the DC_DN and put ldap. in front of it and try this LDAP-host.
Go up one or more domain parts and do a SRV-record look-up and/or put ldap. in front of it.
DC/X521 gatewayproblems
Which parts of the DN must/can be translated? LDAP search takes time. At this moment all searches are done as
anonymous. No SASL, KERBEROS etc.
DC/X521 gatewayto do
Implement heuristic approaches Optimise
By changing sequence of searches By implementing time-outs in ldap searches
etc.
