this works, but doesn't give me a chance to use redundant ldap servers:

echo "157.163.212.208 DomainDnsZones.ww004.glanzmann.net" >> /etc/hosts

I hope there is another way. While reading the code, my understanding is
that it only tries to do the lookup if it doesn't have an uri or host
entry. I also tried to modify my host directive into a uri, but the same
problem occurs.
