Quite.
What you almost certainly want is a way of telling ldirectord to "phase out" a
server by setting its weight to 0 for maintenance.
If a "hard failure" (server unreachable, delivers incorrect data to the
client) occurs, you almost certainly want the server to be gone immediately,
so clients can reconnect to another (correct server).
I can see rare cases where setting the weight to 0 might make sense in the
second case too, but not in general.
