Hi,

How does the OpenLDAP client library handle multiple A records being returned 
for a DNS query for an LDAP server?

That is to say, if "host ldap" returns 1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2 and 3.3.3.3, will the 
OpenLDAP client library only connect to 1.1.1.1?  If a connection to 1.1.1.1 
fails, will it try 2.2.2.2 and then 3.3.3.3?

Basically we're trying to achieve redundant servers and load balancing using a 
round-robin-style DNS entry.
