This is normally my standard practice; I just typed it incorrectly in my previous reply. I appreciate you pointing this out, though.

Probably would be a good RFE to make sure it updates DNS with any and
all IP addresses assigned to that interface though, rather than simply
the one that's actually connected to LDAP.
I agree, so long as this extends to multiple protocols (v4 and v6) and not just multiple addresses. One possible hiccup is IPv6 and privacy extensions which can create several addresses per interface. I would like to see an enhancement like this in the future, though.
