Hi Eugene,
All changes you make to a translucent proxy will be written to the local database. They are not written upstream. I think you will want to mess with the chain overlay to produce an affect like that.
I have been able to achieve what you are proposing by creating a subordinate database for my entirely new objects. The translucent proxy serves and modifies objects at dc=example,dc=org, and the subordinate database lives at ou=ext,dc=example,dc=org.
Cheers, David

Thanks, it's a good read. Since it only mentions the remote Search operation, my next questions might be moot...
but is it possible to store entities locally using the translucent overlay?
No.
Will entities created against the translucent overlay be created in the 'upstream' directory, provided our bind dn to that directory has necessary privileges?
The overlay works for what we are trying to do when it comes to search and modifying attributes on an entry, but I would like to create an entire local groupofnames, consisting of remote UIDs.
That is not supported.
Would it be found anywhere on the roadmap?
Thanks again, Eugene
