Can I use open-ldap as a translation layer for queries with a ldap client with minimal configuration potential?
Yes. I did not clearly get if OpenLDAP is the database that contains the information, or if you plan to stack an instance of OpenLDAP in between your current directory server and the (braindead?) client.
In the first case, I assume you have some thing like
database bdb suffix "dc=mydomain,dc=tld" #...
while in the second case you would create an instance of slapd containing
database ldap suffix "dc=mydomain,dc=tld" uri "ldap://the.real.server/"
In either case, after all database specific directives you need to add

What an interesting and elegant solution to a real world problem. I love software that doesn't assume to know all the problems or all the answers but simply provides a rich tool-set for the engineer. Very cool!
