Start up FreeRADIUS without all ldap servers present

I've configured my FreeRADIUS to use a virtual module 'uobldap' which is a redundant-load-balance set of 3 individual ldap servers. This works reasonably well, with one exception: if you try and start radiusd when one or more of the ldap servers is unavailable, the daemon hangs continuously retrying the connector. Is there a way to make FreeRADIUS start up with a degraded set of ldap connectors? Thanks, Jonathan -- Jonathan Gazeley Senior Systems Administrator IT Services University of Bristol
