If you have a network connection through a firewall it could be that the
connection is broken without the LDAP library noticing (or that the
server just closed the connection). This could also account for the
extra delay (nslcd doesn't detect broken connection that quickly).

To work around this you could use the idle_timelimit option in
nslcd.conf to close the connection once the timeout has expired. This
should ensure quicker reconnection.
