We use SASL1->LDAP in a clusterd HA environment with the LDAP patch supplied by http://www.surf.org.uk/src/cyrussasl.html which AFAIK does not support multiple LDAP servers. We are at the moment suggensting a switch to SASL1->PAM->LDAP, which is not as fast, but will support multiple LDAP servers the way noted above. We would be pleased if someone could implement this feature on a standard base not by exploiting a "feature" in the current OpenLDAP libs (which we think wasn't originally intended by the OpenLDAP folks).
