If you're referring to the LDAP PagedResults extension, that doesn't 
change the limit at all. The server's sizelimit applies to the entire 
search request, whether you use PagedResults to get replies one page at 
a time, or as usual without the PagedResults control.

In other words, there is no way to issue a single search request that 
returns more results than the server's sizelimit. If you have a 
sizelimit of 500 and you want to see 20000 entries, you need to issue 40 
search requests. That's what the sizelimit means, after all.
