Feature request on the pdns list ;)
About your mail to the pdns list, i've splitted the config of pdns and
have made a patch that adds a directive to the pdns config, to add a
directory with files which contains configuration items. So you could
split out the ldap config from the main pdns config.
Problem is that i made a little fault in doing the configuration
automatically and it seems there are people using unstable stuff on
production machines ;)
