Thank you for your replies about the commercial "ypldapd".

I have just found Luke's own RFC 2307.  It mentions (page 10):
   "... one could emulate a supported nameservice (such as NIS).  ... In
    the case of NIS, reference implementations are widely available and
    the RPC interface is well-known".

Where might one begin the treasure hunt for these?
