- From https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/ldap/ :

'If multiple LDAP servers are specified, it’s decided by the LDAP library
how the server connections are handled. Typically the first working server
is used, and it’s never disconnected from. So there is no load balancing or
automatic reconnecting to the “primary” server.'

So if you want/need HA it's up to you. :)
