Does ldapsearch present the results? or is it waiting for results?
I have testest it myself now, if I disable my master, proxycache ist still
answering and presenting search results, unless a request is not
answerable then  ldasearch gets 'result: 52 Server is unavailable', so
I cannot reproduce your problem. You may change the debug mode to
pcache,stats or pcache,stats2 to see what's going on.

ldapsearch -l, or see man slapd-ldap(5) for network-timeout and
idle-timeout.
