Hello Roman,

There are two sorts of DLZ driver -- the one that links with BIND at
compile time, and the one that gets dynamically opened at runtime.
dlz-ldap is currently the first sort; it doesn't build as a DLL, it's
supposed to be built as part of named.  If you're able to build BIND
in Visual Studio, then you can probably hack the build to make it work;
use the 'dlopen' driver in bin/named/win32/dlz_dlopen_driver.c as a
guideline.

Here's a possibly better alternative, though.  Coming up in BIND 9.10 we're
releasing a version of dlz-ldap which is the *second* sort of DLZ driver;
I'll send you a copy of it in separate mail.  It doesn't have any win32
files, but perhaps you can modify the ones for dlz_example to get it to
work.  Once you have it building as a DLL, the windows version of named
should be able to load it at runtime.

Unfortunately I can't help with the process; I know very little about the
win32 development environment.  If you do get it working, it'd be great
if you contributed back your changes.
