In principle, you should be able to do something like that using a
consumer slapd that stores data in a back-sql database. This is not going
to be trivial, because you need to design a back-sql schema mapping that
is compatible with the layout of the data in the master slapd, and filter
out what you don't want to replicate using the "searchbase", "filter" and
"attrs" parameters of syncrepl.
Note that I have never tested anything like that (I don't really feel the
need), so I'm not promising it works out of the box.
The only other alternative I see is to develop an overlay with some
specific code that intercepts writes to slapd and propagates them to your
RDBMS according to your needs.
