Based on the symptoms and logs, this sounds more like a client problem
than a problem with FDS.  What OS / distro are you running?  What does
your /etc/ldap.conf look like?  Recent versions of Fedora, for
example, are fairly strict in how /etc/ldap.conf is configured.  The
following configuration works for me, although it could probably be
improved:

uri ldaps://ldap1.example.com/ ldaps://ldap2.example.com/
ssl on
tls_cacertfile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-localauthority.crt
host ldap1.example.com ldap2.example.com
