virtual_alias_maps works with hash but not LDAP (Postfix 2.5.1)

Hi, I am trying to build a scalable Postfix cluster (Postfix 2.5.1) serving 1000 - 30,000 users with LDAP. The idea is to store the account information inside LDAP and build Postfix servers, such that each server serves its own users, e.g. user1 on server1, user2 on server2 . Virtual domai
