Re: Subordinate Referrals redundant? [auf Viren überprüft]

You might also want to post this on LDAP-interop@fini.net which is more oriented towards these types of questions.

You might get a very good answer in the OpenLDAP forum or you might get ignored as being off topic since this is forum has a very narrow focus on OpenLDAP technical issues. 

LDAP-interop is much more open to thoeretical questions and design issues
