A simple google search shows that this defect was in version 3.00.0 of LDAP-UX.
Since version 4.00.02 is now available, I would assume it has been fixed.

I have used vesion 3.20 and 4.00.02 in an LDAP-cluster environment and failover
seems to work fine..

No idea on that one...

Depends on the version of the OS you are using. Traditionally, that variable is
SHLIB_PATH, but starting at (I think) 11.11, you can use either SHLIB_PATH or
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

If you are asking how the variable is set, that depends on the shell. You can
set a base value globally in /etc/profile (for bourne-ish shells) or
/etc/csh.login (for csh-style shells).
