Hello, I'm using the patch that allows LDAP authentication with the SASL libraries. Is there a way to specify multiple servers to bind to so that in the event that a directory server becomes unavailable, a backup could be used?
Short of that, what are folks doing in terms of high-availiblity/redundancy for LDAP? I've thought through scenarios of using heartbeat to determine which machines are up and updating DNS accordingly. I also suppose you could do something with a virtual IP address in a similar manner and actually get some load balanacing out of it too but haven't a clue where to start with that. So what are you doing with LDAP to make sure its available all the time? THis also spills over into postfix for the same reasons: if the main directory server goes down, mail will start to bounce since my virtual maps are in LDAP. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Kevin -- Kevin M. Myer Systems Administrator Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13 (717) 560-6140
