Folks,

I've had a couple complaints of RHEL 5 machines using nscd/nss_ldap
pegging a CPU at 100% with errors such as:

Dec 26 08:45:01 xxx nscd: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://yyy/: 
Can't contact LDAP server
Dec 26 08:45:01 xxx nscd: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://yyy/: 
Can't contact LDAP server
Dec 26 08:45:01 xxx nscd: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 4 
seconds)...
Dec 26 08:45:05 xxx nscd: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://yyy/: 
Can't contact LDAP server
Dec 26 08:45:05 xxx nscd: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 8 
seconds)...
Dec 26 08:45:13 xxx nscd: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://yyy/: 
Can't contact LDAP server
...
Dec 26 08:47:05 xxx nscd: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server -Server is 
unavailable

This behavior continues until we kill nscd and restart it.  After
restarting nscd the load will drop and it will be able to bind to the
ldap server.

The URI we are using runs through a load balancer to a pool of several
ldap servers so I would imagine that reconnecting after a server glitch
would be pretty fast.  (LVS)  Anyone know what's happening here?
