Yes, the "sudoers:" line is parsed by sudo and sudo does support the
[SUCCESS=return] option. However, this applies only to queries for sudo
rules. 

Is the LDAP query you're talking about a query for sudo rules or for
users/groups? Sources for the user and groups dbs are not handled by
sudo. Sudo just uses the usual glibc calls and they may result in
queries to ldap and sss too.
