There was a patch a while back to the PCRE maps that would allow you to do a
secondary map lookup from a PCRE map hit. I haven't tried it, but it looks
like it would allow you to do something like match against a regexp like
/page-([^\]+)\whatever.com/ and then take the $1 substring (the stuff in
the parens) and do a map lookup (LDAP in your case) on that. It might be
worth playing with to see if it'll do what you want.

The patch was by Thomas Quinot, in a message titled "Map Lookups in PCRE
substring replacements". I'll forward you a copy off-list (I still have it
in my mailbox someplace).
