@habith, thanks for your input. The Google tool referenced above is not a bi-directional tool. It merely updates your Google apps account with information from an LDAP service, not the other way around.
A hosted LDAP as-a service is good feedback.

The idea of an external tool modifying our local LDAP/AD server is not something we'd go for. I suspect other people might feel the same way.
However, if we were smaller (or didn't have internal IT resources) like a lot of clients we work with, an external LDAP/Google apps combo sounds like a winning solution :)
