Yes, I've done this with Red Hat Directory Server. AD in native mode
looks from the outside like a slightly quirky LDAP server with oddball
schema, paired with a slightly quirky Kerberos infrastructure. That's a
lot easier to deal with than old-style NT domains, as I understand it.

As for the replication bit, I'd set that up however makes sense for the
FDS deployment. I don't think it's going to make much difference to the
AD sync, though AD sync with one master is all you need.
