Implementing a range search on integers in OpenLDAP

[Wayne Browne <wbrowne@socialchange.net.au>]

A project I am working on has a requirement to be able to select records 
based upon a integer range.

Something like a using a search filter like:
        "(& ( integerAtt >= 123) ( intergerAtt <= 321))"

where integerAtt is defined like:
        attributetype ( <oid> NAME 'integerAtt'
                    EQUALITY integerMatch
                    ORDERING integerOrderingMatch
                    SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27)

Does this look right?

In the schema_init.c file there is a comment:
        /*
         * Other matching rules in X.520 that we do not use (yet):
        *
         * 2.5.13.9     numericStringOrderingMatch
         * 2.5.13.15    integerOrderingMatch
        ....

I am wondering if anyone is currently working on supporting the 
integerOrderingMatch matching rule?
Or, does anyone have some idea of what would be involved in doing this..? I 
am looking at tasking a c programmer to do this in the near future...
