USE of ADFS

We are implementing a Web Solution using cold fusion that currently uses ldap
to perform user authentication. This works okay for user accounts that
resides within the domain the application server is running in, but anytime a
user outside our domain (within the same forest) tries to authenticate using
LDAP it does not work. We are in a single forest with multiple trees that we
need to have access this web application. The web application only has a
setting to configure a single LDAP server so it appears like anytime a user
tries to authenticate from a different domain it can not find the user
because it can't query the other domains LDAP servers. I would like to know
would configuring ADFS solve this issue? Will it allow use to provide one
LDAP server name that can resolve user access from mutilple domains with in
the same forest? All the domains that will authenticate to this web
application is within the same forest and the trust relationships are fine. I
can sharefolders and grant users from the different domains access to network
shares with no problems.
