I wrote a true LDAP proxy server last year that intercepts and rewrites
requests (bind, search, modify, etc).  I used as my basis the LDAP proxy
server that ships with Python-Twisted.  Unfortunately I cannot share my
code with you, but if you can get your head wrapped around Twisted (it's
*extremely* hard to understand how it works at first), then this is the
way to go.
