Hi,
How does the OpenLDAP client library handle multiple A records being returned for a DNS query for an LDAP server?
That is to say, if "host ldap" returns 1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2 and 3.3.3.3, will the OpenLDAP client library only connect to 1.1.1.1? If a connection to 1.1.1.1 fails, will it try 2.2.2.2 and then 3.3.3.3?
Basically we're trying to achieve redundant servers and load balancing using a round-robin-style DNS entry.
