True, but my Domino server will be hit with radius and squid authentication
requests also. I would like to move that part to a different server.
Moreover, my domino server will become a single point of failure for all
network services. AND, budgets dictate that I cannot install another domino
server with LDAP services.

If I can replicate from Domino it would serve my purpose. Or better still,
if I can populate my domino addres book through LDAP, nothing like it.

Regards and thanks in advance,
Michael Fuller
