For finding certificates and CRLs, DNS can also be used, in particular
the CERT RR.  Gnus support this scheme since a year.  It seemed as if
LDAP was a design requirement for you, but it may be interesting to
consider DNS as well, I believe it solves alot of the practical
problems present with LDAP.
