The tarball contains an LDAP proxy cache extension to OpenLDAP 2.1.4. 

Semantic information is used to determine if the incoming query is contained 
(i.e. is narrower or more restrictive) in any of the stored queries. 

The query containment algorithm works for positive conjunctive queries with 
equality, range (GE and LE) and substring assertions. 

The tarball contains the following: 
1) proxy_cache_patch_2.1.4 (Proxy cache patch for 2.1.4) 
2) usage.ps: User manual with example slapd.conf
3) ldapcache.ps: Design and implementation details. 
4) README
5) INSTALL
6) COPYRIGHT 


The patch modifies the LDAP backend functionality and extends LDBM backend
for caching. 

Please let me know if there are any problems installing/using the proxy
cache code.
