How to control connection to LDAP

[Tim_Crouch at uttyler.edu]

I have noticed that Radius connects to my LDAP server and maintains that 
connection open for many many hours for user lookups.  Is there a way to 
have it connect only when a suer needs to authenticate?  Are there 
pros/cons to doing something like that?

Thanks!
