BUT, there are other important factors you should consider, like:
- partitioning: slave servers and servers responsible for other parts
  of the tree.
- network topology and access speed: if sectors are located in another building, and
  interconnected via WAN links, for example, it could be wise to give
  them their own ldap server so that the clients over there do not
  need to access the server via the WAN link.

If you have a flat topology for all your users, partitioning becomes more
difficult.
