LDAP proxy?

[Michael Bartosh <mbartosh@4am-media.com>]

Is is possible to use OpenLDAP as a proxy? Specifically, unless you use 
NFS home directories, Mac OS X requires some attributes for a good user 
experience that some (many) administrators are hesitant to add to their 
schema.

I'd like a proxy to sit in the middle of the conversation, query the 
enterprise directory, add the offending attribute to the record, and 
pass it on to Mac OS X.

Is there a back end that would support this- or maybe code that's 
public somewhere that operates along those lines? Could you use do 
referrals on the attribute level? I looked through the archives but 
didn't find much relating to adding attributes to records in transit.

If this is an idiot question I apologize, I've never really used 
OpenLDAP for anything beyond postfix and basic user login 
infrastructures.
