If this were a large company "with thousands of accounts" and willing to 
pay for a solution that works, I think I might be looking at at least 
one dedicated OpenLDAP machine pulling from AD and serving what's 
necessary of LDAP to clients.

That might lead to a whole lot of schema hassle, but from what you 
described originally I think maybe not.

Like Howard I was once a confirmed Microsoft user but encountered so 
much that stuck in my throat on the way that I became a Unix person and 
looked to giving up Microsoft. In this life I have to look at ways of 
pulling information from the one and feeding it to the other.

Best,
