What you call "undocumented" features to try to do something slapd and 
slurpd was not designed for, are the results of spending some half an 
hour last night looking at the code and playing with test007.  I don't 
see the need of having multiple databases replicating to the same host 
but preserving the multiple database structure.  I hardly see the need 
of having multiple databases at all in the same instance of slapd.  All 
this discussion really sounds like: "is there any way I can shoot in my 
foot making more harm than I did up to now?"  But this is a rather 
personal opinion, and it's rapidly drifting off-topic.
