Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 Configuration, Command, and File Reference

This attribute specifies connection lifetime. Connections between the database link and the
remote server can be kept open for an unspecified time or closed after a specific period of time.
It is faster to keep the connections open, but it uses more resources. When the value is 0 and a
list of failover servers is provided in the nsFarmServerURL attribute, the main server is never
contacted after failover to the alternate server.
