[Building Sakai] Multiple LDAP servers? -- fallback for Sakai

[will at serensoft.com]

So according to our research (see below) for Sakai 2.6.x it's a quick
matter of editing jldap-beans.xml and listing multiple LDAP servers
separated by spaces:

<property name="ldapHost">
   <value>10.1.2.3  10.5.5.5  10.9.8.7</value>
  <!-- could also use DNS names of course -->
</property>

That is, as long as the different LDAP servers are
clones/mirrors/failovers, this is the paradigm to use.

Right?

If so, here's a follow-up question: Does this round-robin the LDAP
servers, or only check #n when #n-1 is kaput?

Just want to confirm that the following thread is valid for 2.6.x (May
of 2009 is pretty recent, but better to know than to guess, eh?):

(Yes, we ran into an instance where Sakai just wouldn't play nice with
the primary LDAP server, altho all other indications were that the
LDAP server was fine -- we pointed Sakai to a redundant LDAP backup
server and all was well again...)
