Not tried this route, but how about:

1) an infrequent lookup as above, plus a bit of string manipulation,
all using a custom exim.conf and writing another file, which....

2) is .included in your main config to provide a macro used in
setting ldap_default_servers

(working on the dictum that all problems in computing can be
solved with one more level of indirection)
