Supposing the slave has a different base with different subsets of
objectclasses? Supposing ... slapd.conf and its include files would also
have to be updated to cope. One'd be dealing with a separate DB for all
of these, instead of flat files - I'll be gaga before that's realized
(or I'm a Dutchman ;)
This would also go against the grain of syncrepl and proxying.
I take it that people don't have so many slaves/consumers that
individual configuration would become impossible. Although Novell has a
good solution with eDirectory (had already with NDS 4.1), but that's
another ball game ;)
