Take a look at Address Book X LDAP (ABxLDAP) available from www.addressbookserver.com. They also have instruction on getting OpenLDAP running on your own Mac, rather then shipping contact information to some external server. On the same website you will also find Address Book Server which support bi-directional sync, again allowing you full control of where you send your contacts to. www.addressbookserver.com

nothing against this piece of software- but ive been following it for almost a year now and have tried it in various places. while the idea is sound and looks amazing (someting that apple should integrate!) each time i tried it never quite worked the way i envisioned.

maybe this has changed recently?
