We are experiencing the LDAP failover issue described in [1]. Redhat’s solution is to not bother fixing the bug, and to tell customers to put the LDAP server behind a load-balancer. According to Redhat, that is not a good solution for FreeIPA, as explained in [2] and further elucidated in the blog post [3] that it references. I see that the community has a bug open for this [4] and the bug is being worked on here [5] but there has been no activity since 10/22.

What is the status of this bugfix? Does it just need someone to review and merge it, or is there more work to be done? How are other FreeIPA users working around this problem?
