No.

1) There's *NOT* a good mapping between the DNS and LDAP (hint - DN=, O=,
and OU+ can be at the same level...)

2) DNS has to be *FAST*, especially at the root - we're talking on the
order of 200K queries a *SECOND*.  You figure out how to do that while
also tossing certificates around, let us know...
