[Ldapdns-users] Real-world $HANDLERS and $THREADS values with OpenLDAP

[James W. (S. Sysadmin) <sys...@su...>]

G'day guys,

I'm running OpenLDAP 2.2.23 and ldapdns 2.06 (as per Debian stable) and 
every few minutes syslog is telling me that a handler or two has waited 
too long.  At this point, DNS lookups time out until ldapdns is 
restarted.  I am supporting some reasonably intense apps with the LDAP 
server (mail, web vhosts, RADIUS, NSS for user/group lookups), but those 
are working without complaint.  Following the FAQ, I tried upping 
$HANDLERS (to 256 from 128) but to no avail.  The LDAP server is on 
127.0.0.1 so I would think it's unlikely to be network latency.  Can 
someone with a similar setup let me know what values they're using, as 
restarting ldapdns from a cron job every few minutes is not what I want 
to be doing.

Cheers,
