We are looking at implementing a solution for our LDAP that will failover or have a load balancer in place to avoid a single point of failure with 1 LDAP server.

Is anyone using a failover solution or load balancer? How is it working for you and is there any issues that you ran into with setting this up?

I have my ADAM LDAP replicated, but you have to go into ssoconfig to point it to the replicated copy. I have a DR server that I tried to override the hosts entry to point to the replicated server, but we use https and seemed to be having "handshake" issues. The only way around it was to go into ssoconfig on my DR server and give it the real name of the replicated server. Not exactly what you are looking for, but thought you may find the info useful!

If you are using ADLDS, you can do a NLB cluster.
