provider failure behaviour

[Dave Harrison <d.harrison@isu.usyd.edu.au>]

Hi all,

I'm new to both OpenLDAP and the list so please excuse me if this
question has already been answered.

Having consulted google extensively, and the documentation for OpenLDAP
I can't find documented anywhere, the behaviour of slapd or syncrepl in
the event that the master/provider server were to die.

My questions in this scenario are :
    - What is the documented behaviour of the consumer/client ?
    - Does the consumer/client remain query-able ?
    - Will the client periodically attempt a reconnect until it finds
      the master/provider again ?

Cheers
Dave
