The real suffix alias?

["John C.Y. Lee" <johnlee@qnap.com.tw>]

Hi,

I'm using 2.1.25. What I'm trying to do here is to setup an "alias" suffix, 
and make it looks and acts like real.  I hope that can ease the effort to 
change the database suffix.

Before this I used a home-made script with sed and slapcat/ slapadd to change 
suffix of the whole database, and find out not only slow, it will have big 
trouble with a base64 encoded attribute.

The "suffixalias" looks like a good option, but it seems can only return the 
real base instead of the aliased one, and was not included in the 2.1.25 
stable release.  So I try back-ldap.

The following piece of slapd.conf makes server hang upon receiving a request
with base "dc=test,dc=com".

So I checked FAQ http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/532.html
and found out that: "The virtual naming context and the real naming context 
cannot be used as suffixes of another backend."

I guess that is the reason. Is there any way to achieve this?  Thanks in 
advance!
