Re: running DB on different machine than slapd

For a variety of reasons I would like to run the back-end database beneath slapd on a different machine than slapd.

This appears to be difficult using the Berkeley DB.

Makes no sense at all, given that BerkeleyDB is an *embedded* database. I.e., it doesn't run in a separate process, it is designed to run in the same process as the application that uses it.

Can anyone offer suggestions on how to run slapd and the database --- any database --- on separate machines?

Why? I think if you provide more details about your motivation it would be easier to suggest usable alternatives.
