The following will work (I just tested it with a pipe and pgsql backend 
combination):

Have the pipe backend running first in sequence.  Have it serve a CNAME for 
appropriate ANY or CNAME queries for the records you wanted treated this 
way; the actual CNAME served being dependent on the query and the interface 
it comes in on.

Your LDAP backend can handle the A records for the targets of the CNAMEs, 
and pdns will even combine them in one response packet.

For this to work right, you also need to set both query-cache-ttl and 
cache-ttl to 0, otherwise pdns will cache answers and serve them up 
inappropriately.  This requirement may have nasty performance implications 
if your server is busy.
