Hi,

You can implement data replication with OpenLDAP. Please check the
following link:
http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1170.html

Load balancing or fail over can be achieved with third-party software
such as KeepAlived (http://www.keepalived.org) or Heartbeat
(http://www.linux-ha.org/) .

Hope this helps.

Sam
