RE : Slapd-meta stop at the first unreachable candidate



I first met the problem on a pre-production openldap server. One URI was
corresponding to a load-balancer VIP routing to 2 target LDAP servers. As
both of them were stopped, the vip:port was unreachable. And as this URI was
ahead in the list, all other URI were unreachable either.

I then reproduced the same problem several times adding URI correpond to
non-existant targets at different locations. Returned entries were
systematically coming from URI above the non-existant URI.

Do you need any further information ?
