Take a look at this:

http://people.debian.org/~torsten/ldapnss.html

I then used the package cpu to manage adding users and groups to my ldap 
server.  I am sure there are better tools such as luma, etc.  However, cpu 
(debian package) was all I needed for my simple set up (much like what you 
are looking to do but with fewer machines).
