Use multiple databases.

I think time would better be spent in making useful things work across databases rather than revitalizing multiple suffixes in a single database. Another approach consists in making the database rooted at "", hiding "dc=org" and "dc=com" via ACLs.

I miss them sometimes - but not so much that I'm not volunteering do do the work. As far as I can tell the API always lacked proper support for them. Like a "suffix index" in the Operation structure which says which of the current database's suffixes caused dispatch to that backend/database.
