for a easier file and database management. They may need different DB options or indexes as we need, so I want to split every departure from our main DB.
I'd clarify requirements *before* doing the hassle dealing with separate databases. If you really have to deal with DB files on department level you're doing something wrong in your deployment.
"Use" means: I have a up and running two node LDAP server and I want that they can use them too. So, we don't need a different/other LDAP server for every department. But I don't want to use the same hdb files for them too. If they do something strange in there "ou" three and it breaks the LDAP server/setup, I can move the directory away and start the server again, in an emergency case.
I'd recommend to research how to implement appropriate access control to prevent that "something strange" in one sub-tree affects the stability of the whole server.
Of course you can glue several DBs with 'subordinate' directive. But it's unlikely that you really need it.
Ciao, Michael.
