[ale] LDAP Server

[James Taylor]

FYI -
Not a free solution, but relatively inexpensive.
Novell eDirectory is an LDAP compliant directory (Novell is a big contributer to the openLDAP project) that provides automatic real-time synchronization of multiple replicas of the directory.
It has extremely good management tools, and is runs on just about any linux or unix OS.
I think list is $.50/object.  I believe they still have a deal where you can distribute up to 250,000 licenses for free if you include it with an app that uses authentication.

Sorry for the fail-over I was going to use the Master(RW) / Slave(RO) model.
With a heart beat between the two.

Cool I will check 5.3 out. Is CentOS-DS out of testing?
