OK, I figured this out. I had two problems.
1) The FQDN in my hosts file was wrong. After I fixed this I stopped seeing
entries in admin-serv/logs/errors but it still wasn't working.
2) I edited my /etc/nsswitch.conf and put dns before files on the hosts
line.
Once I did that the console started up.
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

If I use the FQDN I get the following:
ldap_simple_bind: Can't connect to the LDAP server - No route to host
However, if I use the IP address, localhost or just the server name (not
the FQDN) it sits there for several minutes (5?) and then comes back with:
ldap_simple_bind: Can't connect LDAP server
It is totally possible that I have something hosed in DNS but I've run
every test I can think of and it seems to work.
Any ideas?
