If all you care about is authorization you might also want to check out pgina
(http://pgina.xpasystems.com/) which is a replacement for the Windows login
dialog. There is a plugin available which allows you to directly authenticate
against an ldap server.
As for DNS I would recommend powerdns which also has an ldap backend. The
advantage over scripts that convert the dns info from ldap to bind zone files,
is that any change to the ldap data is instantly available.
