Apache 1.3.27 + auth_ldap.so auth server failover issue

[Kyle Snavely_1]

Hello all,

I'm having an issue with auth_ldap and authentication to Active Directory Services. We have multiple servers listed in our AuthLDAPURL entry. It currently looks like this:
AuthLDAPURL ldap://dc1:389 dc2:389 dc3:389 dc4:389 dc5:389/DC=domain,DC=org?sAMaccountName

When dc1 goes offline authldap breaks and doesn't try to authenticate to dc2. Has anyone ever tested this and gotten it to work properly?

Another issue is that if dc1 has a slowness issue, it also affects the apache server as it apparently doesn't try to contact the second dc, it just deals with the slowness.

Thanks
