openldap and heimdal persistent connection

[Brian Thompson <brian@eng.wayne.edu>]

Hello,

We're currently running openldap 2.2.20 with the back-hdb ldap backend.
It's being used as a proxy to forward ldapi queries from heimdal 0.6.3's 
ldap
backend to a Sun Directory Server 5.2 which doesn't natively support ldapi.

It seems that the connection is persistent such that restarting the Sun 
Directory
Server requires us to then restart openldap in order to make heimdal work
properly again.

Is there any way around this so that openldap doesn't require restarting
each time someone restarts the Sun dierctory?

Thanks for any info.
