Sure. But reducing it to a value where it is usable would render the

In theory, it has, you can specify multiple server URIs in the config
file. In practice the OpenLDAP client libraries do not handle failover

most of our 2000 unix machines, so I can assure you that it is in
active use and not obsolete at all. :)
