The problem is, that with BDB database libraries (which I use) at least,
aliasing isn't supported (was confirmed in this list). Although LDAPv3
makes provision for it.

This is a real thorn in the flesh as far as I am concerned and has made
me find an alternative to Openldap for commercial use.

Best,
