Serge,

Thanks much for the quick reply!  It looks like all the important bits were added to List.pm  
revision 1.642 and 1.643, so I might just diff those against standard 5.2 and run a local fork  
(5.2 + LDAPS for include_ldap_query) for a short time, or, as you suggest, run stunnel on  
localhost.  I do have some speed concerns about stunnel since it takes about an hour to pull down  
the subscribers (7543 of them) for one of our test LDAP lists over stunnel; the very same query  
done with /usr/bin/ldapsearch only takes about 7 minutes.  I'll try both options out and see how  
they match up.

Thanks again,
Jeff
