Do I miss something, or nowadays questions on the list are becoming more and more "i-don't-actually-care" style? With ldap, a feature you call failover, is usually implemented on application level, like libnss-ldap. Most applications allow to set two or more ldap server addresses, and then use the first, and if it does not responde - failover to next address on the list. With openldap daemon itself you need to setup a replica, and then supply address of master and address of replica (or two+ addresses of replicas), in application configuration. To achieve a full failover, including cluster stack, common shared IP address between nodes etc. you need to become familiar with hundreds or more documentation pages, including pacemaker, and some clustered filesystem of your choice..
