Seems like it would be a good idea to define a new option "glue-peer" or somesuch that allows multiple peer-level DBs to be glued together.
What exactly do you mean with peer-level DBs? I didn't get what the idea is for...
Mainly for grafting OpenLDAP on top of an existing, poorly designed someone-else's DIT.
Well, the reason why I'm nit-picking: Someone who isn't able to consolidate a poorly designed DIT could blame the functionality in OpenLDAP instead of rethinking his/her own approach if things doesn't work. The configuration of such a beast will get complex.
Yeah, good questions. Perhaps it is better addressed by enhancing slapo-translucent instead to allow local entries to exist independently of remote ones. At least in that case, there is a clearly defined precedence. (All local data overrides any remote data.)
And this clear precedence makes it usable. :-)
Ciao, Michael.
