Exactly.  And I would be very hesitant to try to build a fault-tolerant 
system for any application without talking to the people behind that 
application to find out what methods they have used successfully to do 
that kind of thing.

LVS and heartbeat might work just fine with OpenLDAP.  Or they might 
not.  I don't have any specific experience one way or the other, so I'd 
be real leery about trying to build a highly available OpenLDAP system 
on top of them, at least not without talking to the people who wrote the 
code.

That's why I suggested that this discussion should be taken to the 
OpenLDAP.org mailing lists.
