I am running 2 mail exchangers that handle the mailman list distribution
and a third machine serves up the list administration web gui.

The distribution part of this problem is just delivering the mail that has already gone through the mailing list server. So, all admin work would be done on the mailing list server, and the list admins don't need to worry about anything else.

                                                                 Trouble
is that when a message is held for moderator approval, I click on the url
mailman provides or go to the list admin page but it says 'There are no
pending requests'.  I gahter that the message is being held on the mx
machines as mailman expects the gui is on the mx right?

I'm not sure what you're calling an "mx machine".

As I would use this term, the message isn't going to get to the outbound mail relay until after it has been approved by a list moderator or list admin, and from there posted to the list and then distributed out to the recipients -- via the outbound mail relay.

                                                         How can I fix
this?  Can I send the message for approval to the admin machine, approve
it, and send it back to mx somehow?

Sounds to me like you need to provide more information to us about your exact configuration. Right now, we're just a bunch of blind men guessing about how an elephant might look, without ever having actually touched one or even just a part of one.

Another topic, Can mailman be configured such that list administrators
can use their LDAP passwd for authentication? I currently secure list
archives in such a way.

I think that would require modification of the source code. I'm not sure how much work that might be, but you could check the SourceForge patch list to see if anyone else has already done this and posted their patches.
