Hi,

I would like to setup LDAP to manage centralized password for a network 
of 40 Linux (RHE 3.0) and Unix computers. My main problem is the fail 
over in case of a network outage. For security reason, we have multiple 
sub networks, so in case the network where the LDAP server is not 
available anymore or if the LDAP server is down, what happens to people 
that are trying to login.

How to setup LDAP to manage this problem ?

Thanks

Jean
