Merger example - Connection lost

[FandaOG]

Hi,

I use merger https://ldaptor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cookbook/merger.html I've got a problem. I have 2 LDAP servers. Sometime one LDAP server is offline. How can I handle if LDAP is offline (1st is online 2nd is offline I expect I should get response from 1st LDAP but I got infinite pending loop)? Thanks.

Current behavior is:

1. request ldapsearch -x -H ldap://merger.test:389 "uid=test"

2. I get error on merger server:

3. ldapsearch does not get the response (one user exists) it is in infinite pending on data
