Uhh, I suppose, in some certain sense, that would be ideal.  Presumably,
we can tell evo-bonobo that 'here we are, we're an ldap server at port
33889', and hopefully evolution supports editing and update to ldap
servers.   I haven't successfully used evolution ldap. 

(I note that bigfoot has surnames/given-names reversed in 50% of the 
cases, and lots of stale emails, while the other servers are usually 
unreachable or down :-(
