Hi List,
 
OS: centos5.3 x86_64
OpenLDAP is installed using yum.
 
I find that when all the ldap servers are down and offline, the operations on the client is slow.
When I try to do `ls` on the directories on the client as root, it waits there for some seconds.(root is not local account not via ldap)
But when I power on the openldap servers, it is much better.
 
The configuration on the client:
 
[root@xxxx ~]# cat /etc/ldap.conf 
base dc=xxxx,dc=com
timelimit 1
bind_timelimit 1
nss_initgroups_ignoreusers root,ldap,named,avahi,haldaemon,dbus,radvd,tomcat,radiusd,news,mailman,nscd,gdm
uri ldaps://auth1.xa.xxxx.com:636 ldaps://auth2.xa.xxxx.com:636
ssl on
tls_checkpeer yes
tls_cacertdir /etc/openldap/cacerts
tls_cacertfile /etc/openldap/cacerts/cacert.pem
pam_password md5
bind_policy soft
 
[root@xxxx ~]# cat /etc/openldap/ldap.conf 
URI ldaps://auth1.xa.xxxx.com:636 ldaps://auth2.xa.xxxx.com:636
BASE dc=xxxx,dc=com
TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/cacerts
TLS_CACERT /etc/openldap/cacerts/cacert.pem
TLS_REQCERT demand
 
[root@xxxx ~]# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf 
passwd:     files ldap
shadow:     files ldap
group:      files ldap
hosts:      files dns
bootparams: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
ethers:     files

protocols:  files
rpc:        files
services:   files
netgroup:   files ldap

Any suggestions?
