It's not rare, but it's not entirely common. I think most people try to manage a single DIT, although that's not always possible (e.g., because of a merger and a slow migration process). Also, if you are an ISP or LDAP service provide then obviously you will be managing multiple trees for various clients. :)

Just curious; are we the only ones on the planet (or at least, this mailing list) using a single instance of SLAPD to serve multiple disparate suffixes?
To clarify, we serve (as separate physical directories in the Unix file system etc) suffixes such as (redacted): dc=a,dc=b,dc=c, dc=x,dc=y,dc=z etc. To make matters worse, for political i.e. managerial reasons, some suffixes must be completely unaware of the existance of others.
Or is this more common than I thought?
