To date the IdP does not have a Directory based MetadataProvider that I know about anyway.

One approach is to create a <EntitiesDescriptor> file that you can put all your local SP metadata into and set the refresh on that file to happen on a given interval according 
to your needs. This is what I do locally as do others I believe.
