Ah,  Perhaps I mis-understood the error:

pbone at spelter:~$ ldapvi -o dNSDomain
Error: Attribute type not found: ARecord

It might be ldapvi that is searching for the ARecord attribute in a
case-insensative way after looking at the dNSDomain object class.  I'll try
using ldapadd and see if I get the same results.
