Sort of depends on what you mean by sync, you can sync user passwords 
from Samba AD to openldap and I suppose you could create a script to 
find AD users & groups and then create them in openldap, but it wouldn't
be 'syncing'

What do you have in openldap that you cannot put into AD ?

I have a Windows AD here and want to build a failover/HA with open 
source if possible. So that the mail server for example can find users 
if the MS AD is rebooting or down.
