Thanks Volker! I would like to add my voice to those requesting this enhancement!
We have a highly distributed number of domains that all trust each other, but member servers only have access to their local domain controllers. Having the ability to restrict the number of domains that the Samba server tries to contact will be a *very* useful addition.

Nobody so far has asked loudly enough, that's probably the only real reason. It's in my inbox now again. I had to do a similar patch for an ancient Samba version for a customer recently, but did not get around to put this upstream. So there seems to be real need for it :-) Volker -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
