That's delightful, Horms, thanks for the clarification. I don't think my
version of ldirectord has the failurecount option. It's been in
production since 2006 and is currently managing about 900 virtual
services. I've never wanted to mess with it much, considering that it
has worked very well for us. The failurecount option may be adequate
motivation.
