OK, so I did an upgrade to PHP 5.3 on one of my servers. I noticed the

PHP 5.3. Has anybody worked this out with a good RPM or repo solution?

I think that the most secure setup is to use both LDAPI (ldap
connections over Unix sockets) for connections inside the ldap server
and TLS for connections from everywhere else on the network. Plus, ldapi
connections are much faster than TCP connections.
