If your application is able to check SRV records, you can definitely use
that. If your client follows the spec (RFC 2782), it will try each of the
returned records and will distribute queries evenly according to the weight
specified in the records. Many systems will allow you to have a list of
LDAP servers (for example, in PHP, you literally list them in a
space-separated string). For clients that really only support a single
host, we run a frontend proxy on our HAProxy servers that will forward
requests to one of our IPA servers.
