I have setup an LDAP server watchdog before with OpenLDAP and 
Daemontools. It works like a charm.

To work with daemontools, a daemon should be able to start without 
forking itself into the background, e.g. with -f switch or similar, and 
log all of it's output to stdout (access, errors, etc). OpenLDAP can do 
this, but I don't believe that FDS can (although it would certainly be a 
great feature to add because daemontools really kick ass).
