Re: How to achieve fail over in ldap servers

["Alan Sparks" <asparks@doublesparks.net>]

Maybe not directly.  If you're using apps that can accept two server IP
addresses and use the first it can connect to, or if you can simply create
a DNS record with the two IP addresses and use the name, you may get off
cheap and good enough.

for real high availability and failover, you'll need a load balancer. 
Either something like the Linux Virtual Server project
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ or a hardware-based solution like an
Alteon or F5 load balancing switch is the right way to go.
