This is actually a timeout on the select/poll at the ldap_pvt_connect()
level, so it's not the dual of the idletimeout at the proxy side.  I
think what you mean could be easily implemented by defining a timeout
that applies to connection lookup; so, each cached connection could
carry a timestamp, which is "touched" by setting it to op->o_time any
time it's being returned by ldap_back_getconn() or meta_back_getconn();
if the timeout is defined, and op->o_time > lc->lc_time + timeout, the
connection is dropped and reinitialized.
