      Currently, to configure the JNDI/LDAP service provider, you specify a URL
      containing a machine and port number of the LDAP server. It would be useful
      if you can specify more than one server known to offer equivalent service.
      This would make the LDAP server provider more tolerant, at least at initial
      context creation time, of server failures and network load. Here is the
      proposal, which is analogous to how the DNS service provider supports
      multiple DNS servers:

          Multiple LDAP servers may be specified by setting the PROVIDER_URL property
          to a space-separated list of URLs. Each of the servers is contacted
          in turn until one of them responds.
