i've used zones in LDAP in production for some time and its been quite 
problemless. the only problem was ldapdns was  buggy at the time. Then i 
switch workplaces so i dont know, but as far as i know it still works 
with ldapdns. Where i work now we use powerdns/LDAP. We use OpenLDAP and 
reliability has been excellent.   I'm going to set up another ldap 
server which will be a slave to the first one. The 2ndery dns will read 
zones from the slave, as at the moment both primary and secondary dns 
read from the single LDAP server, although as i said, reliability has 
been excellent. (according to cacti 99.89% availability)
