Well this is the crux of the problem. We do not maintain a connection 
per user. LDAP connections exist for the duration of a single IPA RPC 
call. Those RPC calls may be multiplexed across multiple IPA server 
instances, each of which is it's own process.

Our LDAP connections are very short lived and are scattered across 
processes.
