How could you provide a list of servers? Query syntax allows to specify
exactly one server host and optionally one port:

ldap://<hostname>[:<port>]/...

Ref: http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-file_and_database_lookups.html
section 16

Hostname may resolve to multiple ip-addrs, providing load balancing and
fall tolerance. Is it suitable for you? Why do you want do deal with list
of servers? If list is used, servers would be tried in fixed order,
without load balancing.

Probably you missed with some other query syntax, it's not for ldap.
