Sorry I haven’t gotten an answer on how to respond to threads while receiving daily digests of this forum, but her it continues.

 

Wonderful help.  It showed that I wasn't indexing the attribute I was querying.  That is done and now the debug level responds with QUERY ANSWERABLE.  Looks like the proxy is actually working. 

 

Well, almost.  If the master server is there, it returns with the answer and all looks good.  If the master server isn't there for the proxy, the proxy still responds in debug with QUERY ANSWERABLE, but blocks after that.  This causes ldapsearch to stay blocked as well. 

 

Why would a proxy still check with the master If the proxy is working?  I want to use this to relieve processing from the master. 

 

It also gets back to the other part of my problem.  Since it seems to block indefinitely, how can I set a decent timeout for slapd? 

 

Again, thanks for the help so far.

In order to test the proxy caching function run your proxy slapd with -d pcache.
