I little bit more searching have revealed the following settings which I would like to try: 3.1.1.85. nsslapd-outbound-ldap-io-timeout This attribute limits the I/O wait time for all outbound LDAP connections. The default is 300000 milliseconds (5 minutes). A value of 0 means that the server does not impose a limit on I/O wait time. 4.5.2.8. nsConnectionLife This attribute specifies connection lifetime. Connections between the database link and the remote server can be kept open for an unspecified time or closed after a specific period of time. It is faster to keep the connections open, but it uses more resources. When the value is 0 and a list of failover servers is provided in the nsFarmServerURL attribute, the main server is never contacted after failover to the alternate server. 4.5.2.9. nsOperationConnectionsLimit This attribute shows the maximum number of LDAP connections the database link establishes with the remote server. What is not perfectly clear to me though is does this apply to all connections other masters, consumers and clients?
