In the end, there isn't that much that is specific to OpenLDAP (e.g. most
clustering solutions provide support for MySQL, the only difference is
which init script the clustering middleware uses to start/stop the
service).
documentation for that.
I haven't "tried" it, I currently run it in production on one cluster on RHEL3 (and previously have done so on RHEL 2.1 AS).
The documentation for RHCS covers sufficiently the requirements for running any service under RHCS (unfortunately the init script in the RH openldap packages doesn't use the right exit codes for best operation with RHCS ... and that was one of the original reasons I built my own packages - see http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/ ).
If you have *specific* questions, please ask, but this isn't the right forum to discuss the use of clustering middleware.
