OK, automount with ldap maps and replicas works fine now :-) No need to patch lookup_ldap to look for more than one servername in autofs package as I did ... , the only thing to do is to configure correctly /etc/openldap/ldap.conf !!
indeed that's where automount lookup look for the ldap servers name, not in /etc/ldap.conf :-( !. So I just added in my /etc/openldap/ldap.conf my replicas: $grep HOST /etc/openldap/ldap.conf HOST corne.int-evry.fr corbeau.int-evry.fr an removed the specification of an ldap servername in my ldap auto.master entry. from automountInformation: ldap:openldap.int-evry.fr:ou=auto.mci,ou=automount to automountInformation: ldap:ou=auto.mci,ou=automount,dc=int-evry,dc=fr For a detailed doc: http://www.int-evry.fr/mci/user/procacci/ldap/Ldap_int007.html#toc27 Thanks.
