Re: Dynamic Groups

This definition would imply that Dynamic Groups are a concept that only clients care about, since presumably a client must issue a search on the LDAP URL that defines the group.

No, dynamic groups are purely server-sided. To the client they appear as a regular groupOfNames or groupOfUniqueNames with member or uniqueMember
attributes.

???

I.e. on the server side it may look like
dn: cn=finance,ou=groups,o=company
objectclass: dynamicGroupOfNames
cn: finance
searchUri: ldap:///dc=foo,dc=org??sub?(ou=finance)
to the client it looks like
dn: cn=finance,ou=groups,o=company
objectclass: groupOfNames
cn: finance
member: cn= joe beancounter,ou=people,o=company
member: cn=jane beancountress,ou=people,o=company

On which server does that work?

AFAIK it is an idea implemented by at least one vendor I know.

Which one?
