[Koha] multiple ldap servers (redundancy)

[mourik jan heupink - merit]

Ok, discovered something...

The way described below does not seem to work. Existing users could 
logon fine (but probably authenticated from the mysql database) but new 
users didn't work.

Does anyone know if there are do's or don'ts related to having 
authentication redundancy? Is having multiple ldap servers (failover) a 
supported configuration?
