getting linux clients to authenicate off any FDS LDAP server

[Steven.Jones at vuw.ac.nz (Steven Jones)]

Hi,

How would this be set at the client end? Ie it seems a bit silly to have
ldap.conf like this,

======
URI ldap://vuwunicvfdsm001.vuw.ac.nz/
BASE dc=vuw,dc=ac,dc=nz
TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/cacerts
ssl start_tls
======

As if I lose the master (I assume) the slave (vuwunicvfdss001) wont be
queried....

Regards
