The problem is that I don't know enough about LDAP to use it affectively. Maybe I'll look into it for use in the future.

Inserting and removing accounts before/after running unit tests is generally as easy as cat'ing them in and a reverse cat to take them out again.

I seems to me that you are screaming for server virtualization with that configuration. Sounds pretty sick form where I'm sitting. Good luck. I look forward to reading how it goes.
