So then, i guess i am curious what other people do, when they are using 
LDAP as a backend?  Do you allow modification of lists thru the web 
interface at all? 

You sound pretty pessimistic about modification back to LDAP, but to me 
it seems like the only thing TO DO.
I guess it would be all about building your configuration correctly in 
both directions, if it is to work at all.
