+  ldap servers were previously run on realservers. However, 16-way MMR
+  turns out to be difficult to manage. By splitting the LDAP cluster
+  into its own servers, Scripts migrations across version boundaries
+  are easier since there is not a cutover period to two different
+  versions of LDAP in the pool. However, this is still true when
+  upgrading the LDAP cluster itself.
+
+  The LDAP cluster should be run on a variant of EL to reduce
+  maintenance burden.
