CHAPTER 6 Using the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol as a Directory Service
Configuration Guide 77
For example:
ldap://huey:11389/dc=sybase,dc=com??one
Note Microsoft Internet Explorer does not recognize LDAP URLs.

Multiple directory services
Any type of LDAP service, whether it is an actual server or a gateway to other
LDAP services, is called an LDAP server.
You can specify multiple directory services for high-availability failover
protection. Not every directory service in the list needs to be an LDAP server.
For example:
[DIRECTORY]
ldap=libsydbladp.so ldap://test:389/dc=sybase,dc=com
ldap=libsybdldap.so ldap://huey:11389/dc=sybase,dc=com
In this example, if the connection to test:389 fails, the connection fails over to
the DCE driver with the specified DIT base. If this also fails, a connection to
the LDAP server on huey:11389 is attempted. Different vendors employ
different DIT base formats.
