None of my logs are showing much slapd info, aside from startup and
shutdown information.   What loglevel would I need to set to see
CONNECT messages?  I tried 8, which would seem to be the logical
choice, and only saw a ton of thread management entries.

I know network services were fine in general when this was happening,
as I was accessing both the client and server boxes via ssh from home.
 I did not attempt a direct connection between the two, but I
certainly will next time I see this happening.  They are directly
connected to the same switch, so connectivity issues seem relatively
unlikely.

I will test this at the next opportunity.

Thanks for the suggestions!
