You can setup your software to try a number of ldap servers in turn (I 
guess it is possible). These servers will be in sync using syncrepl and 
will be located on different networks so that they don't "fail" 
concurrently.

You can also setup a local (i.e. on the same machine with your app) ldap 
server (also synced using syncrepl) and configure your app to work with 
that. Thus your queries will be very fast and you will not be dependent 
on any other-ldap-server transient connectivity issues. This is what we 
are doing on our mission-critical apps (including mail server).

Hope that helps.
