+ <para>
+ Resolving a server to connect to can be as simple as running
+ a single DNS query or can involve several steps, such as finding
+ the correct site or trying out multiple host names in case some
+ of the configured servers are not reachable. The more complex
+ scenarios can take some time and SSSD needs to balance between
+ providing enough time to finish the resolution process but on
+ the other hand, not trying for too long before falling back
+ to offline mode. If the SSSD debug logs show that the server
+ resolution is timing out before a live server is contacted,
+ you can consider changing the time outs.
