Can you setup a Linux server? If so, you really need to try HAProxy:
http://haproxy.1wt.eu/

I just set it up for a customer the other week and HAProxy is being used for
Quickr HTTP failover between Quickr clustered pair, and we're also using it
for LDAP load balancing/failover of two Domino LDAP servers. We have Cognos,
Quickr, Sametime, and Connections all directing LDAP to the HAProxy. It's
great, and very easy to configure! :)

We have domino servers called LDAP01, LDAP02, LDAP03. They are each on
different lpars running IBM i. Each lpar is on a different physical power
6 box. They, obviously, serve up ldap. My Domino quickr server (XQP02),
Site Administration, only allows me to enter one ldap entry. How do I get
it to roll over to LDAP02 when LDAP01 is out of service?

We tried DNS round robin years ago. That's no good. Just because I can
ping LDAP01 doesn't mean that the Domino server LDAP01 is even running.
All it means is that the OS on that lpar can return a ping. DNS round
robin isn't robust enough to check to see if ldap is being served from
that address.
