<p>Note that hostname can be a space-separated list of LDAP host names. This is very useful
for failover; if the first ldap host is down, ldap_connect will ask the second LDAP host. Of course,
you _must_ have LDAP replicates before doing this. :) Read the LDAP API documentation for more
information.
This can also be useful, apart from failover, for LDAP load balancing. Just use a random generator
function that will return a different space-separated list every time. This is because the first
host in the list is always tried first.
Be careful when doing LDAP writes; be sure to always connect to your master host when you are about
to modify the database, so that the replicates will get the changes as expected.
