Q:
WS wrote: For NSL client in LDAP mode, only 2 servers can be assigned: The primary and secondary LDAP server. If it's fail-over, will a Layer4 switch or a DNS Round Robin work to provide Load Balancing and support more LDAP servers?

A:
The LDAP client is a fail-over. There is no reason you cannot use an L4 switch to provide for failover on the primary and secondary servers or use DNS round robin to do load balancing.
