I noted something along those lines when I was setting up our LDAP server. I 
noted that I needed to have a 'host IP' to get LDAP to work. I never went 
into any detail to trace the problem. I have no idea what the difference is 
between them, or why one would work and the other not, I just went with what 
worked.

I've just tried removing the 'host IP' line from my RHEL AS4 evaluation 
system and it works using the 'URI' value.  So something has changed, either 
in openldap, or pam_ldap/nss_ldap.
