Re: LDAP redundancy

I think you should be able to bind to a domain name rather than to a
specific domain controller.
If it's an .asp page or a .vbs script, then it could start with something
like this:
Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE";)
strDNSDomain = objRootDSE.Get("DefaultNamingContext")

Hi All,

We have a web server sitting in the DMZ. The web service queries the LDAP
off the domain controller in the trusted LAN. We created a firewall rule
to allow web server into the domain controller through port 389. We have 2
domain controllers. We like to provide LDAP redundancy. When one domain
controller goes down, the web service will automatically query the 2nd
domain controller. What's the technology that I should be looking after?
round robin? Please help.



Domain controller: Windows 2000 Server.
