You can specify multiple directory services for high-availability failover protection. Not every directory service in the list needs to be an LDAP server, for example:
[DIRECTORY]
ldap=libsybdldap.so ldap://test:389/dc=sybase,dc=com
ldap=libsybdldap.so ldap://huey:11389/dc=sybase,dc=com
In this example, if the connection to test:389 fails, the connection fails over to the LDAP server on huey:11389. Different vendors use different DIT-base formats. For more information, see the Open Client Client-Library/C Reference Manual.
