What about "passwd" over "pam_ldap"? Will it follow referrals? That's
the one I *need* to keep working.

I'm just building my mini test environment to test that, but if you can
give me some advice here it would be great.

Otherwise, would there be another way to load balance the queries from
nss_ldap/pam_ldap, but still have them always update the master when
writing?

Thanks!
