My team has asked me to investigate the introduction of two additional IPA 
server into our infrastructure. This means a total of 3 servers.
We also want to be able to load balance between these servers since we already 
have client connected to our existing ipa server through LDAP.

I came across this blog post by Dmitri Pal, where he discusses some part of 
Identity Manageent and Load Balancing (See: 
https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/identity-management-and-load-balancing-red-hat-enterprise-linux)

Since we're using AWS i'm wondering if it's beneficial to load balance the LDAP 
or if we just try like Dmitri mention in the blog post to use DNS SRV records. 
Would it be possible for us to so and only point one FQDN in the 
/etc/sssd/sssd.conf for our hosts?

E.g
IPA servers:                  DNS SRV Record
ipa1.example.com  >> ldaps_ipa.example.com
ipa2.example.com >>  ldaps_ipa.example.com
ipa3.example.com >>  ldaps_ipa.example.com

And put following in a sssd.conf file:
[domain/example.com]
id_provider = ldap
ldap_uri = ldaps://ipa.example.com
