ldap clients cant connect to replica after failure

Hello,

I am running 2 hosts CentOS release 5.3 (Final) with kernel 2.6.18-164.el5l.

One box is the provider and the other is a consumer using syncrepl. When the primary goes down, I can perform searches against the domain from the replica so I know the replica has replicated the data (when I stop both hosts I can't preform the search obviously). When I point a client to the replica, I get a timeout when trying to perform searches or pull data. ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1).

Any ideas? I will provide more information if needed.

Scott .
