Just out of curiosity, why do you use PAM-LDAP with Apache as opposed to mod_auth_ldap?
Good question. No major reason, but we expect to use PAM LDAP for other services on our servers, since LDAP centrally controls our authentication, so I took the more general solution.
Ah, I'd be worried whether adding the additional layer (PAM) isn't going to slow you down.

Its only an intranet web server, not a public one, so the traffic isn't huge. I expect that the true bottleneck will lie in communicating with the LDAP server over the WAN rather than the local authentication method.
