I'm starting to get my head around the documentation and the behavior.

I'd expected the failover to be system-wide operation that persisted
between different processes whereas in fact the failover occurs once per
process. Running ls a second time requires the failover to happen again.
By using nscd, a single daemon process deals with libnss-ldap holding
that persistent connection open as desired.

I think I understand now :) I'll see how this works out for me and if
necessary use something like pen to load balance.
