Since you are using apache 2.2, look into using AuthnProviderAlias to
setup
LDAP parameters for each domain, then use those aliases to
AuthBasicProvider
as a space separated list.

WARNING: You can only perform a "require valid-user" in this case, because
the alias functionality only works for authentication, NOT authorization.
(require ldap-user username or require ldap-group groupname will not
work.)

Apache 2.3/2.4 is changing the authentication stuff (again) and will
hopefully
help this situation.
