You've configured LDAP server to have a really small connection idle
timeout?

Dovecot doesn't switch. OpenLDAP library switches. I don't know what its
internal log is. My guess is it first always connects to ldap, and if
that fails then it connects to ldap2 (and never switches back, until
connection is lost).
