access to ldap backups

[Vincent M. <Vin...@un...>]

Hi,

I use the perldap module to acces LDAP server (OpenLDAP).

I use replica servers LDAP and I wish to be able to access the backup server in case of dysfunction 
 of the master server. 

With other api, it is possible to indicate in the server names a list of servers.

for exemple :
$ldap = Net::LDAP->new(ldap.univ.fr:392,ldap2.univ-nancy2.fr:395);

if ldap.univ-nancy2.fr:392 is unaccessible, then an attempt is made for access to ldap2.univ-nancy2.fr:395

It is not possible actualy do do this with the Net::LDAP module.

Is it possible to modify the module so that it accepts this possibility (I can propose the patch) either I should create a class perl which inherits from the class Net::LDAP?

Thanks
