Given this "host" directive you don't even need a "port" directive,
since you could say
host ldap://localhost:389/
Also, rather than listing a lot of bindings with a single directive, I still
think it would make sense to list options for individual bindings, e.g.:
host ldap://localhost/ timeout 60
host ldap://external-ip/ timeout 300
