[Fedora-directory-users] LDAP Accounts for large website

[Satish Chetty]

Jared,
	I would check to see if the problem if it is on the LDAP or  website. 
Ex. LDAP response may be good from the ldap host using ldapsearch. 
However the LDAP response by the ldap plugin/api from the 
webserver/appserver may not.

Some additional steps I would do...
* Run the ldap query using ldapsearch on the ldap host and then machine 
on same subnet and then from webserver/appserver machine. Both with and 
without website load. This will help me identify if the problem is on 
the network or LDAP server itself or load.

* Check on indexing, number of concurrent requests when server is fully 
loaded, FDs, swap space, TCP/IP settings etc. The load may be high 
enough that you need additional replicas or even masters. With 
additional masters you need to be watchful on how load balancing works 
when writing to different masters.
