While this should be technically doable, it's going to be a bit of a juggling act. ;)
With the way that iRules handles connections right now there is no direct way to say "Connect to host $x, send request $y, and wait for a response, then do something with that response". It's something we've been looking at adding for quite a while, and I'm confident it will be available very soon as a feature.
For now though, you'd have to play a bit of trickery with the AUTH commands and use that to contact the LDAP system in question and process the response that way. Technically possible? Yes, I believe so (though I'd have to do some testing to be sure), but it's going to add to the complexity a bit.
