Hi,
Coincidentally I needed to do the same recently, and the after some back-and-forth the I reached a solution with "subordinate" glue: http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200802/msg00128.html Basically, I used a "ldap" backend to connect to the "main" remote server, and a local "bdb" backend that is also subordinate.
Note, however, that this in my system this works if you want to add user and/or group entries, but it doesn't work so well for autofs maps (though I suspect that is because how autofs performs a search for maps of type "ldap").

Question regarding the translucent overlay.
Say I wanted to create some entries locally that don't have corresponding remote entries. For example, if the base suffix is dc=foo,dc=bar, and the remote ldap server has, let's call them user entries at uid=myuser,dc=foo,dc=bar, and I wanted to locally create ou=group,dc=foo,dc=bar and put my own group entries in that, is this possible with translucent? Or maybe with a combination of overlays?
Ok, I know I can create local-only entries, but any search requests for them fail. Is this what ITS#5283 is supposed to accomplish, without going through the hassle of trying to build HEAD?
