That is how UCARP work.  It is using a virtual IP, which the clients are pointing to but no luck.  UCARP is smart enough to know which server is the master or backup.

You'll probably want to implement a high availability service like Linux-HA to handle keeping an active IP pointing to the last functional server... then point your clients to it instead of the individual IPs of the servers.

I'd suggest you go read the OpenLDAP 2.3 admin guide and man pages then. Because you'd quickly discover that mirror mode didn't get added until OpenLDAP 2.4. :)

Why is it that when I shut down host1, both openldap and samba stop working on host2?  I thought the purpose of mirroring is to have a backup server to take over in case the other fails?
