hi,

do you think one box with postfix will be enought ?
If not, you'll have to dispatch the load. Then, you can easily create 
replica's and share the load to multiple ldap servers. Of ourse, the 
master will have to deal with 35000 entries read.write. but you will not 
have so many writes a day, do you ?

Maybe you also need to consider another ldap server (netscape,... ?).
I just read some test saying that it was more stable.

Do you know how to architecture the final system ?
