It looks like sendmail is working nicely with the multiple URI list
configured in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf however with the reboot of the
server the local slapd startup is a little bit to slow.

When sendmail is configured for only the local slapd it fails to start
because of this slow startup.
Using the ldap.conf URI, I assume it automatically chooses the 2nd
remote ldap server.

I would prefer of course that sendmail waits a bit until the first
(local) ldap server is ready.
What would be an efficient way to have sendmail wait a bit until the
local ldap is ready?
