Hallo everybody,

I am evaluating now a possibility of load balancing between several ldap 
servers. I imagine each ldap server will bind to its own ip address. 
LDAP client will try to connect to ip address of the loadbalancer and 
the loadbalancer will distribute requests between ip address of ldap 
servers.

If I use GSSAPI to authenticate my clients against ldap servers, I am 
afraid I will get in troubles, as my clients will ask for ticket for

ldap/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

although they will be connected to ldapservers with principals like

ldap/[EMAIL PROTECTED] or ldap/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

which may cause problems. To workaround it I could try to put in keytab 
of the ldap servers on [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] keys of the 
principal ldap/[EMAIL PROTECTED] However in such case I think I 
will not be able to bind directly to the ldap servers (not via 
loadbalancer) as my clients will ask for tickets like 
ldap/[EMAIL PROTECTED] or ldap/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Probably it is possible 
to assign same keys to three different principals 
ldap/[EMAIL PROTECTED], ldap/[EMAIL PROTECTED], and 
ldap/[EMAIL PROTECTED] but I don't know how I can do it.

Is there any standard way of organizing loadbalancing between kerberized 
services?

Thanx a lot and best regards, vadim tarassov.
