Typically this functionality is built in to the client (or in fact the 
LDAP client library).
Interposed proxies or load balancers are possible with LDAP but not 
normally needed.
I'm not sure about weblogic specifically but usually you get to 
configure two or more
LDAP servers, or you can use multiple A records in the DNS. I'd ask BEA 
-- they
should be able to tell you.
