jcifs.smb.SmbException: Failed to negotiate jcifs.smb.SmbException: Timeout trying to open socket

Incorporating Backup Domain Controller :
-----------------------------------------
From the NTLM HTTP docs (http://jcifs.samba.org/src/docs/ntlmhttpauth.html) :-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If we don't set 'jcifs.http.domainController' in web.xml and if we use 'jcifs.netbios.wins' instead with the values set as two WINS servers, then while the first WINS server is not responding, second one will be queried. (Implementing Backup Domain Controller in WINS). In the situation where we would like to avoid WINS, which seems reasonable, we presume that jCIFS cannot (yet) do this; but the question remains relevant how to best avoid WINS usage by jCIFS, and still have backup domain controllers.
