I looked back about a year and didn't find anything. Can you 
point me to the posting? The only one I know is the 
read-only LDAP server by Tim Mooney.

have no idea what that's about. You may have to tcpdump a 
single connect-disconnect through LVS and then without LVS, 
to see what's happening. I assume this same setup works for 
another single port service like http?

It looks like the connection is hung waiting for something 
to happen before it can be terminated. Is something else 
requiring a connection, identd? ldaps?

I got a similar error with failover dhcpd servers once. I 
never figured out what was going on. I didn't look with 
netstat though.
