The Apache system is being put together now, so it can look like
whatever it needs to.

We have c. 35,000 registered users which change by a few users daily,
with big 5,000 user changes once a year and medium sized (c. 1,000
users) changes once a quarter.  We are using the Novell nwhdir.c module
to extract home directory locations from the NDS.

I don't know anything about nwhdir.c, so I can't help you with that.

But the first thing you need to consider is: do you need to also serve 
content from the document root (outside of the home directories)?  If 
so, how are you going to differentiate between a request for the 
document root and a request for the home directories if you don't use 
the ~ or any other string?
