Understood.

If you are doing load balancing and your webserver is being monitored
by ldirectord, then if it is down for a short time then it might
be taken out of the load balancing pool, and then put back in again.
However, I suspect that the ammount of time that apache is
non-responsive after a HUP is much shorter than any reasonable
timeout for ldirectord, and thus in practice this should not occur.

If you are just doing high availability, then the truth of the matter
is that heartbeat does not monitor apache, so there is no chance
that a failover will occur.
