Re:Alternate target for slapd-meta ?

["michel.gruau" <michel.gruau@laposte.net>]

Could anyone confirm my understanding below regarding URI lists ?
After the first URI has become unreachable, for how long time is the second URI used. ?
Does it switch back immediatly to the first URI when it become aivailable again.
Thanks,
Michel

Thank you very much for your reply, I read it but too quickliy, and I missed this possibility. 

However, my need is that the first URI remains the prefered one. As soon as it become available again, I'd like to switch back to l1.foo.com. Unfortunately, I guess that the current behaviour is to keep using l2.foo.com until it become unavailable too ?

Do you confirm this behaviour ?
