Frankly, I'm at present using back-ldap with proxycache over ldapi for
postfix authentication and mailrouting, the uptime is now 38 days.I
must admit that it is an elder HEAD version. But even with 2.1.13
back-meta with a few rewriting rules was rock stable, but without
proxycache at that time. While back-ldap has about 4 search requests
per minute, the server (2.2.14) answers more than 40 search requests per
minute, as it primarily supports pam and an addressbook.
