specifying multiple ldapserver in pg_hba.conf

Are you able to specify multiple ldapservers in pg_hba.conf and if so
what is the format? I'd like to be able to build some redundancy incase
one of the ldap servers goes down.

Thanks!

This is unfortunately currently not possible. To do this, you need to
set up some IP level redundancy for your LDAP.

Thats true. We had the same issue, and ended up doing the redundancy via DNS and a cron
job which checks all LDAP servers, choses an alive server, and modifies bind's config files
accordingly.
