Hi Joe,
it should work with any LDAPserver. All the connection timeout handling is done client-side in the PHP LDAP code. Which in turn simply uses the LDAP client libraries that were used to build the PHP LDAP extension. Most of the time this is OpenLDAP client library (although if I remember right, you could compile PHP using Oracle's or Novell's LDAP libraries, if you had any of those at hand).
The only thing (that I can think of) that could make a difference is using a diffent LDAP client library. Either not using OpenLDAP libraries, or using a different -older- version of the OpenLDAP client library that doesn't implement connection timeout handling (or implement it in a buggy way).
Saludos. Iñaki.
