Thanks for that. I would have thought though that the strategy would
have been part of the 'connectionConfig', since that is where the URLs
are defined, rather than a per-provider thing.

I have no problem with using a pool, but would like it to use round-
robin when selecting which LDAP server/URL should be used for any new
connections.
