According to Howard's info above, both glue overlay and relay backend
should do this (separately). Like I've asked Howard, I'll kindly ask you
please to provide me with the usage example of both glue and relay in
the context of our LDAP structure that was given above. Those important
mechanisms are not so well-documented, unfortunately.

Thanks in advance!
