## slapd.conf
database ldbm
suffix "ou=db1,dc=domain,dc=com"
...
database ldbm
suffix "ou=db2,dc=domain,dc=com"
...
database ldbm
suffix "dc=domain,dc=com"
A couple of points to make about this.
o This superior DB must be listed in slapd.conf
after the subordinate DBs
o When using replication list this, you can use
a single replogfile for all changes
o You will need subordinate knowledge references
(i.e. referrals) from the superior DN to the
child partitions.
