Not yet. One could wrap OpenLDAP's function ldap_init_fd() for that purpose. 
Feel free to submit a patch. But not sure whether ldap_init_fd() is already 
present in the OpenLDAP libs you're using.

Maybe I don't get the point. Normally VPNs are invisible to LDAP connections 
since they route IP packets. What's so special with your VPN?

Ciao, Michael.
