Nope, not it. I've been looking at netstat/lsof and actually forked off a dedicated LDAP server just to eliminate outside noise.

By the way: the LDAP servers and the web server/LDAP client are all RHEL6 Xen guests on top of RHEL5 DomUs.

I thought maybe we could be running low on entropy, but scanning /proc/sys/random shows that's not it either... and I'd expect NSS to use urandom anyway.
