Yes I did.  I have tried all of the options below:
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://server1.sample.edu \
                                          ldap://server2.sample.edu

passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://server1.sample.edu \
                                           ldap://server2.sample.edu"

passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://server1.sample.edu  
ldap://server2.sample.edu

passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://server1.sample.edu  
ldap://server2.sample.edu"
