If one is to believe the comments in that file, then LDAP does not appear to play a role at all in /etc/nsswitch.conf switched services.
That's probably because the LDAP NSS module isn't part of glibc. It's developed by PADL, and included by Red Hat in the nss_ldap package.
Ah, OK, of course! Forgot about the PADL stuff...
Is this enabled for general lookups already, or would there be a bit here or there that I'd need to flip ahead of time?
Run 'authconfig'. It'll help you set up the nsswitch and pam files for LDAP. Be sure to check "Cache user information", so that nscd runs. LDAP is slower than NIS. nscd helps reduce load on the LDAP server.
