Hi,

Is it possible to select and authenticate the clients based on their 
src IPaddress against a particular ldap server.
Say for example I want to authenticate the client

    172.16.1.1 against the ldap server at 172.16.1.10  and the client
    172.16.1.5 against the ldap server at 172.16.1.50

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

The auth_param acl only supplies a username and password to the 
authentication program.  You can use the provided credentials against 
multiple backend servers, but you can't specify which backend server to 
use based on client source.
