BTW, I am assuming you have a DNS server for the domain you plan to
implement in the LDAP server.
No. I use dnsmasq inside the office network - everything else just uses
the DNS service provided by the company I brought the domain names from.
Should we set one up then?
dnsmasq should be good enough as long as you have *all* your internal hosts
defined in /etc/hosts of the system hosting the "dnsmasq" and systems
binding to the LDAP server are on the *intranet*.
What are your thoughts regarding all of this operating behind a consumer
(domestic) ADSL line? Should we be considering colocating a server?
Typically, Directory Services is visible only within the enterprise's
network (LAN + VPN) - this has been the case in my experience. As long as
all machines binding to the LDAP server are on the *intranet* (behind the
firewall) it should not matter.
I do not understand why you are bringing up colocation (presumably in the
cloud) as an option. IMO it is not necessary. It would be helpful if you
can elaborate on your network setup.
