Hello all,

I am about to start a replicated server for my LDAP service.  I understand 
how the replication and updating happens, but I am curious as to a total 
failure of the primary server and if the secondary server then becomes the 
failover service.

Can two addresses be used in the client ldap.conf in  case the first 
server is down?

Did I see something about doing it through DNS?

Thanks.
