Describe the feature you'd like

Apologies if this is already something that can be configured but I haven't seen a guide on how if so.

It would be great if the Bookstack .env gave the option to configure an alternative LDAP address that could be used if a lookup fails. We recently lost access to a DC (thanks Microsoft for January patching fun) and our other DCs could have kept the service alive if Bookstack knew where to look after the first failed lookup.

Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users

LDAP logins would continue to function if a single DC was offline or malfunctioning. Greatly increasing availability of the Bookstack service.

Additional context

Thank for the request @Cidwill.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think this may come under the same request of #543?

Well this would be for multiple DCs within a domain rather than multiple domains but I imagine the actual functionality would be the same so yeah, happy to close off and add to that one.

Thank you for the quick response Dan. Love your work.
