It depends on what you mean by "share" information.  If you're talking 
about the ability of one LDAP server to "relay" requests to another LDAP 
server, I think your biggest problem will be with the LDAP schema... 
Microsoft has mapped some of its attributes to well-known LDAP attributes 
and has created new attributes for other information.  I currently went 
through this trying to map Exchange contacts to an LDAP address book... I'm 
not sure whether the authentication side of things will be better or worse.
