Then it would be (almost) trivial:  use back-ldap (2.2) or back-relay with
slapo-rwm (2.3) to map objectClasses/attributeTypes the way Outlook wants
them.  If you use back-ldap on a different host you may keep the real
naming context; if you use back-ldap on the same host, or back-relay
you'll need to rewrite the naming context as well.  All you'd likely need
to do is:

<2.2>
database ldap
suffix <virtual naming context>
uri ldap://<host:port stuff>
suffixmassage <virtual naming context> <real naming context>
map attribute <outlook> <real>
...
map objectclass <outlook> <real>
...
</2.2>

<2.3>
database [relay|ldap]
suffix <virtual naming context>
# if back-ldap...
uri ldap://<host:port stuff>
# if back-relay
relay <real naming context>
overlay rwm
rwm-suffixmassage <real naming context>
rwm-map attribute <outlook> <real>
...
rwm-map objectclass <outlook> <real>
...
</2.3>

fine.
