[Samba] LDAP failover

[Jason C. Waters]

Hey guys,
	I'm having a problem getting LDAP/Samba to failover, or at least how I 
think it should.  I have two servers with passwd backend = 
ldapsam://"ldaps://ldap.server1 ldaps://ldap.server2".  Works great as 
long as I can ping both servers.  Say I take down ldap on server1, and 
also take down the ethernet device so it cannot communicate with the 
other server, so it should then samba should look at server2.  It does 
but it takes 6 seconds for it to switch.  To me that seems dumb.  All 
communication is then delayed by six seconds which isn't much of an 
option.  I'm tempted to write a perl script that will modify the passwd 
backend line in samba and just replace it with the server that is can 
find.  Has anyone else had this problem?  If so how did you resolve it? 
  Thanks for your help.
