SRU Justification

[Impact]

We recently fixed DNS resolution of the server hostname during reconnect. 
However, server IP address may change, even when the old one continues to 
server (although sub-optimally).
    
We should schedule the next DNS resolution based on the TTL of the DNS record 
used for the last resolution. This way, we resolve the server hostname again 
when a DNS record expires.

[Fix]

[Test Case]

Microsoft tested

[Regression potential]

Samba Reconnects may fail.
