Hi Bernhard,

here some debugging hints as promised in my other mail.

Check with the Apache log and tcpdump if any requests are received on the 
server and if any answers are sent back to the client.

Check if Kontact can understand the _very_ same FB by putting the FB on a 
normals http server as a file.

Yes, in theory this should not hurt at all.

If the FB list is defined for a contact OL indeed is supposed to use this 
information.

Good!

To my knowledge OL does not an unsolicited LDAP lookup. Joon might know more 
about this. You can easily verify this assumption by using

tcpdump -i eth0 port 389 on the server.

Yes.
