1000+1000+100 = 2100; if you have sizelimit set to 2100, the search can't 
return > 30,000 entries short of a bug in OpenLDAP. I'd be wiling to wager 
that if you dropped the sizelimit you'd see everything and this is all 
normal behavior.

See the sizelimit and/or limits directive in slapd.conf(5) man page. In 
particular, you might be looking for size.pr or size.prtotal or similar 
instead of your current configuration.
