Hi Jeremiah,

What is the error message you got when trying to communicate with the
LDAP load balancer over SSL? What DNS names did you use to contact the
load balancer and each individual LDAP server? How did you create the
SSL certificates for the LDAP servers?

I suspect that you haven't created the SSL certificates for the LDAP
servers with the 'SubjectAltName' field set to the DNS name of the load
balancer.

Hope this helps.
