Timeouts and TTL's

["Matthew Stier" <Matthew.Stier@us.fujitsu.com>]

I am using OpenLDAP (2.3.38) as a proxy server, to provide a single 
point of lookup, for the many e-mail systems used within the company I 
work for.

The only problem I am now encountering, is 'slapd' randomly hanging, and 
I suspect that could be caused by bad interactions between the proxy and 
ldap servers.

The most plausible solution would be to implement timeout's, but that is 
where I come into a brink wall, trying to understand when each of the 
multitude of timeout and ttl setting should be used.
