We have a primary and secondary (failover) ldap servers. Can CFLDAP be coded
such that both get searched or the secondary searched only if the first fails?
I was thinking that the server attribute might work as a comma-delimited list.
That does not seem to be the case. If CFLDAP does not allow the specification
of more than one server, I am sure I can code so that there are two calls and
the second only called if the first fails. That just seems like an ugly
solution.

Any ideas or suggestions?

I do not remember the details, but for my previous job we used a server
name that could resolve to any of the LDAP [aka active directory]
servers as required. The network operations set this up and just
provided me with the domain name to put into the server attribute and
all the fail-over, etc was handled by the network.

Thanks, Ian. I walked through what I was doing with the LDAP (AD) administrator
and he asked if it was possible to list more than one. So, I presume that the
network is not set up the same. I'll follow-up, however.
