I'm perhaps a little confused here- ldap search types return one result
only, ldapm return one or more. I think that in many cases where ldap
lookups are performed, it's likely that it's only meaningful to get one
result from a successful lookup. I may have got the wrong end of the stick
here...
Adding code to attempt to open multiple hosts when creating a new connection
ought not to be too hard, provided that ldap_url_parse() doesn't choke on
the syntax.

we see a deadly sin in every home, on every street corner.
and we tolerate it because it's commonplace. it's trivial.
