LDAP Login Caching

This morning we had a disruption in our LDAP service and it resulted in a large number of people not being able to login to their machines if they let them fall asleep or lock. The passwords do cache though as users are able to login to their machines when home.

Are there some caching setting I'm unaware of to handle if the LDAP server is unresponsive or what the TTL on the cache is? I'd really like to avoid this happening in the future.

disconnect them from the network and they will probably login fine. if they can talk to the server they will expect a response from the server and not check local.
