The cleanest solution is to import the schema from the remote server.  A 
mechanism to sync it runtime would be best (e.g. persistent search on 
subschemaSubentry, if available, or periodically scheduled checks would 
be an option).  Unfortunately some DSA implementations are quite 
forgiving, if not deceiving, in defining schema... this would require 
some repairing policy.
