Question about the linux automounter that comes with fedora core 5...  I 
have 3 ldap servers listed in my /etc/openldap/ldap.conf file.  They are 
there for redundancy in case the primary server goes down:

/etc/openldap/ldap.conf:

host primary.domain.com slave1.domain.com slave2.domain.com
base dc=domain,dc=com

And it seems that while the primary server is up, the mounts work fine, 
but when I take the primary offline, the automounter has trouble finding 
the second one.  All other LDAP related actions/queries work, just the 
automounter has troubles.

Is AutoFS for linux tweaked such that it will automatically try second 
and third servers if they are listed in ldap.conf?  Or am I just doing 
something wrong?

Thanks for any hints!

ciao, erich
