RE: LDAP Proxy Timeout Values

Interesting.

So you basically have some sort of script that checks responsiveness. If none, it reconfigures slapd.conf and restarts the process? Seems like quite a bandaid, but it'd work.

I reported a similar issue a couple of years ago:

http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi/Incoming?id=7372;selectid=7372

That was with 2.4.32. I don't think it's been fixed since, but I've worked around it with a slightly unpleasant out-of-band check on our domain controllers which reconfigures OpenLDAP when it detects a DC going out of service.
