I discovered that since the hostname part of an URL is passed to ldap_open
which accepts space separated hostname lists, I can also use space separated
hostname lists in URLs.  If this were a feature, it would be *very* useful
for me.  Any comments on this?

Such behavior is application/SDK specific!

ldap://host1 host2/dc=openldap,dc=org?cn?one?objectclass=*

is a malformed ldap URL.  ldap_parse_url() should* return an error.

* A RFC2255 rewrite of ldap_parse_url is underway.

Not reliably.
