You can look in the list archives for the thread titled RFC: Forking 
ldirecterd [PATCH] by Ryan Castellucci which starts with:

  The attached patch modifies ldirectord to fork a process for each
  virtual server to speed up response time with large numbers of virtual
  servers. I am testing this vs multiple instances of ldirectord, two
  virtual servers, three real servers each, and it uses about 25MB less
  ram over that, and starts up a lot quicker.


Looks like what you want. That patch should be included in the next 
ldirectord release.
