Any idea what Dovecot version? rhel4 had 1.0.rc15 I think? I know there
were some LDAP bugs in it, but I don't really remember anymore. Did
Dovecot really try to access the server2, or was it simply unable to
reconnect to the LDAP server at all? If the latter, it's probably just
rc15 bug.

That was only a guess. If the problem was with reconnection, it is (was)
a Dovecot bug. If the problem is something else, it's because of
OpenLDAP library which I don't really know much about.
