Thanks. Unfortunately, the backend servers aren't running OpenLDAP, so syncrepl is out. I can still pull down their schemas and merge them in, sure. But since I'm basically just using slapd to federate these other servers, I was sort of hoping there was a more transparent option that just passed things through without requiring a local schema match.
Thanks for the replies.

Hi,
yes you're right. You simply have to replicate them (cn=schema,cn=config) with syncrepl or better replicate the complete conf.d (cn=config) to all nodes.
for example, as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html
"LDAP replication..."
Bye.

OK, so I've got the ldap backend set up to talk to a couple different servers, and it's working, but I can only see attributes that exist in slapd's local schema. any way to import the schemas of the backends? automatically would be great, manually would be ok...
I am most definitively not a ldap guru, but aren't the schemas in the new ldap being fed into the database as LDIFs? If so I would think they would be passed around.
In the old slapd.conf days I think you could rsync the directories where the schemas live in all servers so they all matched or something like that.
