olcSubordinate versus Chaining

[Warren Howard <warren@madtechsupport.com>]

Dear all,

I'm setting up a replicated directory service, so far I have a single 
provider and a single consumer with Syncrepl in refreshOnly mode.  The 
consumer is a complete shadow copy of the provider, ldap clients can 
read from the consumer but not write to the consumer because it is a 
shadow copy.  Next I would like "refer" ldap clients that wish to write 
to the consumer to the provider.  Based on the notes here : 
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/referrals.html, I would like to how 
to do this by using the olcSubordinate keyword. I've read the 
olcSubordinate section in slapd-config man page and I don't see a way 
forward and I'm not even sure that using olcSubordinate is the correct 
approach, since the steps described in 
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/overlays.html#Chaining appear more 
relevant to set up I'm attempting.

Any guidance much appreciated.

Regards,


Warren.
