If I have an old base dn of uid=jdoe,o=x,c=us and I want to redirect all such client queries to uid=jdoes,dc=group1,dc=x,dc=y; what is the best way to do this? The old base is on an old netscape server and the new one is on openldap 2.3.27. Thanks!

Assuming you have migrated all of the content from o=x,c=us on the old Netscape server to live under dc=group1,dc=x,dc=y on the OpenLDAP server, which you would like to have visible to clients searching the new server under o=x,c=us, you should consider using back-relay as the backend for o=x,c=us.

See the man page for slapd-relay for details.
