[389-users] openldap client HA for multimaster replication

[Ryan Palamara]

I was hoping to do this without load balancing.

I do have cluster services running on these servers. Can 389 be added as a service for red hat cluster services while running in multi Master?

Depending on how expensive this slow authentication is, you could do anything from a shared IP via haproxy to buy a BigIP pair from F5 and have your load balancer check that the backend ldap daemons are up. Then the frontend will stop using a non-functioning backend for ldap.
