[Freeipa-users] faking DNS autodiscovery of servers

[Karl Forner]

Hello,

I have some web applications that use LDAP for
authentication/authorization, and which do not support LDAP auto-discovery.

I'm wondering if it's possible to fake the auto-discovery of server.
For instance, I could imagine using a DNS CNAME ldap_current.example.com
which should point to a currently available ldap server.

Then a cron job would query the DNS/ldaps to find an available ldap server,
and if different from the current, update the DNS CNAME
ldap_current.example.com.

Does it make sense ?
In that case, how to discover a working ldap server ?

Thanks.
Karl
