It's been a while since I used EUDC (I changed jobs in June and am now
Directory Serverless, so it's just my BBDB now :), but I had this
working - ie. if I typed in "First Last" in a To: header and called
'eudc-expand-inline'[1], it would check bbdb then the directory
server.

There's no lisp involved, you can do it all through M-x customize RET
eudc

If you're still having trouble, let me know and I'll dig up the
relevant bits to set.
