I don't think so cause ${prefix}/etc/openldap/ldap.conf has
the same line (host master slave).

You're right cause I was stoping master server without "disconnect"
(killing) automount proccess from them. When I've kill autmount
ldap, the slave was connected.

Now the thread is how can I kill automount(ldap) proccess when
master does not respond anymore allowing client connect to slave?
PS: In the slave, I don't need automount cause I don't have nfs shares.
