  If they don't follow the RFCs, then all bets are off.  Who the heck
are these people?

  I've tested 2.x with 500K clients.  It took ~8s to start the server,
and the server used ~2G of RAM.  But it worked.

  You could also try using the "dynamic_clients" module.  Put the
clients into a subdirectory instead of LDAP.  That will solve the LDAP
load problem.
