Hmmmm - this has come full circle, and I suppose the answer is to make the
connection algorithm a configuration item. Radiator initially made a single
connection and then did all requests over that connection, but we had all sorts
of problems with LDAP servers falling over when used in this way, so the code
was changed to open and close the connection for each request.
Mike will decide which approach is best to handle different scenarios.
