Yes...but I thought that someone have implemented 2 ldap server on a
cluster system;

uhm..very dangerous

This maybe a solution...if it's possible...but I'm a newbe about SSL

Ok...omit cluster...if I have a server Fedora DS (A) that it's ssl
server too...until A is alone I configure my clients to point at this
server for authentication and I tested it works perfectly..now I want
another server for load balancing replicated in
multimaster(B)...now...how can I set up ssl for this scenario ? This
scenario is normal for example in windows Active Directory...I think
that it's impossible that nobody has never made a test like this or
implemented something like this
