Any plan to support it in future?
Or at least multiple LDAP connections from one auth process?

Problem of course is with bind requests (they can be send only one at time).
It can be problem on a busy server.
(2 connections for userdb and passdb is not enough, bind request still 
go through one connection).

Of  course "auth_bind = no" will help, but it lowers security.

Any other idea?
