Not to add extra work for you, but others might find it
illuminating to have your LDAP experience written up in some
detail (before you forget all the things you learned).
I am planning on redo-ing an LDAP setup this summer, and I have
found case studies of others' experiences very enlightening while
I plan for it. My scale is small, but even the case studies of
very large directories have been very useful.
