I think what Michael meant is: Since you are using 6.3 you are using the configuration that does not leverage SSSD integration for sudo and connects directly to LDAP source for sudo rules. In this case there is no caching of the sudo rules and if you loose connectivity sudo will failover to local sudoers file. In case of 6.4 the SSSD integration is possible and SSSD would fetch sudo rules and store them so that sudo acts consistently whether there is connectivity to the central server or not. So the point that Michael might have had (guessing here) is that it might be better to upgrade to 6.4 to leverage SSSD integration and caching than to use 6.3 without caching.
