connecting multiple DSA's on one server - back-meta / back-ldap

["Mark Whitehouse" <markwhitehouse@home.com>]

Hi,

I need to glue together multiple DSA's on one server to form a single DIT.
At present I am using referrals to achieve this.  Unfortunately, this
approach leads to multiple network round trips from the client (as LDAP
referrals are processed client side).

Are there any alternatives in OpenLDAP to achieving a single DIT without
passing referrals back to the client?  Would back-meta or back-ldap be a
better solution?

Thanks for any suggestions,
Mark
