Currently, fail-over is handled by the LDAP library, which tries to
connect to a list of servers in turn, until the first connection succeeds.
We just pass a list of servers to the LDAP library.
Perhaps the simplest enhancement would be to "rotate" the server list
when a query times out, before asking the LDAP library to re-connect.
server-list before time-out: s1 s2 ... sN
server-list after time-out: s2 ... sN s1
Any other suggestions?
