My next question: can anyone on Oren's config that he posted in the link he provided as to how something like that could be configured with the translucent overlay on top of the ldap backend database, as well as the local bdb to serve out the subordinate suffix. I tried that, and it seems to throw slapd into an infinite loop (which I saw in a number of scenarios with other related configs that I tried).
Thanks for the help so far!
Please share your configs for examining.
