[Auth_ldap] Eventually stops working.. ?

[Steven Hajducko]

I've got auth_ldap 1.6 installed on apache 1.3.3.  We use the LDAP
connections to authenticate users to our ActiveDirectory server.  The
authentication works for awhile, then we'll start getting these errors in
the error log for apache:
 
[Thu Mar 10 11:47:51 2005] [error] [client 10.201.250.179] LDAP search for
(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=stha3155)) failed: LDAP error: Can't
contact LDAP server; URI /bin/view/Cricket/ManagementNetwork
[Thu Mar 10 11:47:53 2005] [error] [client 10.201.250.179] LDAP search for
(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=stha3155)) failed: LDAP error: Can't
contact LDAP server; URI /bin/view/TWiki/TWikiRegistration
[Thu Mar 10 11:51:29 2005] [error] [client 10.201.250.179] LDAP search for
(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=stha3155)) failed: LDAP error: Can't
contact LDAP server; URI /bin/view/TWiki/TWikiRegistration
 
LDAP searches from the command line still work.  I tried setting the
MaxRequestPerChild to a low number ( we tried between 10 and 2048 ) and we
still receive the issue.  Our .htaccess has the following:
 
LoadModule   auth_ldap_module    libexec/auth_ldap.so
AuthLDAPCacheSize 1024
AuthLDAPCacheTTL 600
AuthLDAPOpCacheSize 1024
AuthLDAPOpCacheTTL 600
 
If we restart apache, authentication starts working again.  Anyone have any
ideas or suggestions on how to fix this or for troubleshooting?
