LDAP Server Pool - is this possible? 1

[IndyCoder]

I had a questio about if it is possiblie to create a pool of LDAP server in my AD environment. The reason behind this is because we have about 150 applications that are hard coded to specific servers and we are looking to replace hardware and re-name these to our new standard.

I know I can create a pointer in DNS to redirect traffic to the new LDAP server but I want to make this dynamic so I dont have to touch it in the future.

Has anyone done this?
Anyone have any ideas.

Thanks

I have set up applications that use LDAP and I point them to to root domain name in DNS. For example MyCompany.com not DC1.mycomapany.com. Using the domain name, DNS has service records for your LDAP servers. So, as you add/remove domain controllers the LDAP records get dynamically changed.
