I agree. @ in URIs is already defined as separating credentials (or just=20 username) from the host. I don't recall whether OpenLDAP supports that=20 usage but in any case we shouldn't re-define it.

I believe ITS#8654 is about the same feature? That one implemented this=20 by copying a Microsoft option, LDAP_OPT_SOCKET_BIND_ADDRESSES. I would=20 think that's probably a better approach. Maybe you could pick up where=20 the author of that one left off? He disappeared after posting his patch=20 for review...
