Have you used this patch in production? It does indeed look very
straightforward. If I add this, I would change the c variable name to
"local_servers", but I think the SERVERS= part is just fine the way it is. As
far as documentation, what do you think of this:

The SERVERS parameter allows you to specify an alternate list of ldap servers
to use for an individual lookup. The global ldap_servers option provides a
default list of ldap servers, and a single lookup can specify a single ldap
server to use. But when you need to do a lookup with a list of servers that is
different than the default list (maybe different order, maybe a completely
different set of servers), the SERVERS parameter allows you to specify this
alternate list.

There is no real test suite coverage of LDAP at the moment, so this patch would
have to be verified with some repeatable manual testing.
