Task

Investigate a network client API for data and name resolution.

Name Server

Can LDAP (OpenLDAP) be used to store record names, server addresses, maybe more ('primary' server, fields, ...)? Does it allow for redundant servers, automatically syncing? How to best interface it (API)?

Data

Is the low-level V4 CA client API all that's needed? Or is a wrapper needed that e.g. holds the data in a container?
