Sorry, I haven't had a chance to try this yet.  Actually, they now want me 
to move my current setup into production Friday morning.  I'm still 
interested in testing it though.  I'm going to be replacing our radius 
servers next and they talk to ldap, so I'll need to build a new lab 
environment anyway.  I'll give it a shot then, but it won't be for another 
week or two.

In case anyone is interested, I've decided to go with the following setup 
for my move to production.

openldap 2.3.7 w/ patched syncprov.c.
berkely db 4.2.52 w/ 4 patches from sleepycat and one from openldap (for
log_autoremove)

I didn't notice anything specific to bdb 4.3, but since 4.2.52 has been
running great for quite some time, we decided to go the safe route.
Others have told me about a few bad experiences with 4.3, so just in case,
we're going to wait on it.

This will handle about 400,000 users for authorization/authentication of 
dial, dial isdn, vpn, ftp, personal homepage web interface, adsl service 
selection (cisco ssg/sesm), wifi hotspots, content filtering, nntp, and 
our broadband portal.  We mostly use freeradius as a radius server for 
these that talks ldap to our directory.  A few in that list just talk ldap 
directly.
