round robin, prioritize DNS results

[Sandeep Kansal]

If you running LDAP , then for searching your all the server(LDAP one), there is
no need to put the entry in name server's file.Just put all server address in
your /etc/hosts file.It will not send the request to the DNS server for locating
IP .
