Thanks for the prompt response, Ando. I've put the fix into production and
I'll let you know how it goes. This problem only surfaces every few days
when AD doesn't respond to a bind request, so will be at least Thursday or
Friday before I can confirm it did the trick.

I've also taken your advice and set pseudoroot-bind-defer yes.

Thanks,
