Hey Beast,

I am not to clued up on how to/if it will work, but here goes (maybe other
listmembers can help aswell - I havn't had to use it yet)

openldap supports replication (as far as I rememeber) so have a server in
every site and replica the database between the sites. I think the
replication program is called slurp. Using acl's you will be able to control
updates to each sites data.

You sites could look something like

o=Site1,c=Where_ever
o=Site2,c=Where_ever
...

Hope this helps a bit,

Cheers,

Pieter De Wit
