Subject: Net::LDAP new() and multiple addresses

Hi there.  I had a server drop the other day, and some Net::LDAP stuff
hung, even tho it was directed to connect to a domain name with multiple
A records associated.  Started looking at the Net::LDAP code to see why.

Noticed in the Net::LDAP.pm and Net::LDAPS.pm new() methods, you call
IO::Socket::INET->new and IO::Socket::SSL->new respectively... these two
methods accept a MultiHomed argument (" Try all addresses for
multi-homed hosts").  This isn't listed in the new() arg list

Wondered if you might want to investigate including this option in a
future rev of Net::LDAP.

Thanks for the code.  Been very very good to me.  :-)
-Alan
