netstat showing non-existent connections

Sun guys,

I have a Solaris 10 LDAP server which is showing "ESTABLISHED" connections
on the LDAP port from a client. I am *absolutely* sure and have verified
that the client has not connected to the server in the last three days. The
"ESTABLISHED" connections have been there for the last 3 days when the
client last connected. No i have not restarted the LDAP process. I want to
get to the bottom of these phantom connections before i restart LDAP and
possibly lose the symptom.

Why is netstat reporting established TCP connection when they are not
actually there? Anybody seen this before?

System - Netra 1280, Solaris 10, Kernel patch level 118833-23

Phantom connections (netstat output):

myserver.ldap client.14279 61440 0 49232 0 ESTABLISHED
myserver.ldap client.24855 61440 0 49232 0 ESTABLISHED
myserver.ldap client.63975 61440 0 49232 0 ESTABLISHED
myserver.ldap client.47819 61440 0 49232 0 ESTABLISHED
myserver.ldap client.29304 61440 0 49232 0 ESTABLISHED
