Hello Sarati
I did not get what you said by single database rooted at "", the empty DN.
Can you please send me a sample config file if you have ? I really appreciate the same.
Please reply to the list. The example is
database <whatyoulike> suffix ""

Don't do that. First of all, think if you really need multiple suffixes in a single databases. In most cases, this requirement can be relaxed by setting each suffix in a separate database. If you think you really need to have multiple suffixes, you can use a single database rooted at "", the empty DN.

Hello all: Is there any work around to get multiple suffixes working in openldap for multiple domains
I saw this info in one of the links which says you have to add this #define BDB_MULTIPLE_SUFFIXES and then compile. Note: As of OpenLDAP 2.1.2.13, the default configuration will allow only one suffix to be defined for each bdb database. The C preprocessor directive #define BDB_MULTIPLE_SUFFIXES (file: servers/slapd/back-bdb/init.c) may be used if you want to compile in multiple suffix support. If you use it, subtree indexing will slow down by factor of 2. The use of suffixAlias is no longer supported by default in version 2.1.13.
Is there any short cut to get multiple suffixes working without having to re-compile everything again. Any shortcuts really appreciated

At a first glance there's nothing wrong in the bits of configuration you posted. However, the description of the problems you encounter is so vague that there's little chance anyone can be of help.

Since you didn't provide the commandline you used, or a sample of the data, or the exact error message, the only option we have is to guess.
My guess is that you didn't specify the database number or suffix that slapadd should operate on.
ldapadd also seems to fail for the second domain.
Again, you provide no information here, and there are way too many possibilities for failure to even try and guess.
i have two separate directories for the two domain. /var/lib/ldap and /var/lib/ldap2. Really appreciate your help in this regard
