I have just developed a simple method to check if the LDAP server is alive - using a java.net.Socket connection to a port that responds in a known way. If it times out I know the server is dead. I can control the timeout value myself and it works like a charm.

I'm writing a Java POJO right now to replace it, this might help your situation also, dunno. After I get it working and tested I'll release it around here. I do see this issue with cfquery though. If the DB server is down, in my case if the TNS listner is not listening, the tag gets all hung up. This is something I really wish they would get working better, wished this since like version 4. Luckly its a very rare case that our phat Oracle box has issues. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
