Thank you! That worked. I notice that binds on
uid=xx,ou=rsc,dc=virtual always work (i.e. they don't seem to be
checked on the target server); is that correct and/or can it
be changed?

Furthermore, upon searching for sn=mens for example, only the 
results from the first URI are returned. Can that be changed
to include all results of all uri?

This doesn't work for me. I see on the target server, that the
original naming context is searched for (in the example above
the target server is getting "ou=People,o=RSC").
