CentOS - Apr 2013 - Directory Server vs just plain old LDAP server

Hi all,

I'm migrating from my Cent 5.x LDAP server to Cent 6.x.

But wondering if there are any advantages to the Directory Server package
itself?

Been using regular old LDAP server for years now.  I manage it both via Webmin
and command line as well as some tweaks to a Drupal module.

The fail over has always sort of bothered me as the secondary LDAP servers pull
vs being pushed to, at least that was the case in Centos 5.x
 
At any rate, your opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Look at IPA for your directory services...

Makes management very simple and adds kerberos capabilities as well :)
