I checked DNS and it was indeed broken, but I am connecting to the IP,

Fixing DNS still sees the same error on Debian.
Try -d 1 or -v arguments to ldapsearch

On the server I check check the access log for "startTLS" and see it,

[14/Sep/2007:13:08:08 +1200] conn=39 fd=67 slot=67 connection from
130.195.87.235 to 130.195.87.249

nentries=0 etime=0
[14/Sep/2007:13:08:08 +1200] conn=39 op=-1 fd=67 closed - Encountered
end of file.

But the "Connect error (-11)" concerns me.
I think this can happen if the server cert does not have a subject DN that starts with cn=foo.example.com, where foo.example.com is the FQDN of the directory server machine. Or, the server cert has a subject DN like this:
cn=foo.example.com,....
and the client either cannot resolve (via DNS or /etc/hosts or whatever it says in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file) foo.example.com, or the reverse DNS lookup on the server's IP address does not resolve to
foo.example.com
