Directory Services, OpenLDAP and DNS pools

When I configure a Mac to use an external directory system, it's usually our OpenLDAP directory. Using Directory Access.app in the Utilities folder (or the command line equivalent, dsconfigldap), I usually enter that hostname, ldap.stanford.edu. However, there are limitations to this. If the IP address of that specific host changes, things break.
