[SOLVED] Zimbra 5.0.10 LDAP replica - Starting ldap...failed with exit code 256

I'm installing a second LDAP replica onto a new server, the first one went without problems, but I'm getting the following error during the apply phase. Has anybody seen this?

Starting ldap...failed with exit code 256

Here's the output of the error:

Solved:

I had my ldap servers in an F5 pool for load balancing. By disabling the pool I was able to connect to the LDAP master and complete the install.
