Hey,

We do have an entry in vdc_options called LdapServers.
It is a per-domain configuration, just like the other LDAP related configuration options.
When looking for LDAP servers, the engine uses the ones in this configuration. If empty, it goes to the DNS.
Currently the engine-manage-domains utility doesn't set this option, but if you would like to work with one LDAP server for testing purposes, or as a workaround, then you can set it manually:
domain:1ldapserver1, domain2:ldapserver2....

Note that it only supports one LDAP server per domain.
