Re: Question: back-ldap connection retrying and rebinding necessary?

Hi, As a user of slapd-ldap I've bumped into few corner cases related to handling retries and timeouts [1][2][3][4]. I think it demonstrates how non-trivial problem proxying really is, even if it might seem quite simple for casual user at first. While working with a patch for [1] I was wondering following: My use case: I have many proxies in the network: one per Kubernetes cluster, but large number of clusters in the network.  I'd like to reduce the number of long- running connections to centralized server to the absolute minimum.  The number of concurrent TCP connections handled by the remote LDAP server is the bottleneck.  Optimally, all connections should be dropped as soon as client is done with the LDAP query.
