suffixes are searched linearly; the search is linear among the backends
and, for
each backend, among the multiple suffixes a backend may accept.
The last N bytes of your base (after normalization) are compared to each
suffix;
N is the length of the suffix the base is being compared to.
There should also be a check on the position the base is being cut, which
should
be a dn delimiter. In your case, a base "...dc=de", when compared to a
suffix
"c=de", of course results in a match, so you're urged to put "dc=de" BEFORE
"c=de" in the suffix order.
