We have an AD infrastructure and we'd like to get all of our unix boxes to authenticate against the AD servers.

You really should be looking at Samba and winbind. There we handle all the messy details of dealing with AD.

If you want (say, for reasons of reducing dependence on AD) to use your own replicated directory, then this is quite possible (and OpenLDAP would be a fine DS for that purpose), but this gets painful with passwords etc.
