What exactly do you mean with peer-level DBs? I didn't get what 
the idea is for...

Hmm...how about bind requests?

I'm a very simple thinking guy. Therefore I'm not in favour of 
endorsing a setup which lets the slapd admins believe they don't 
have to think about schema and names spaces and consolidation of 
their data.

How should duplicates be detected (by DN, by filter?) and based on 
which criteria should they be dropped or merged. Even merging is 
messy: Merge all attribute values of same attributes of all merged 
entries? Or give some entries priority over others or I'm already 
totally confused now... ;-)

Ciao, Michael.
