No, you can't have several different views because you have the DN of each entry
that identifie each one in the entire tree. For example, with the tree on the
left, the bottom left entry is identified by : 'dn:ou=unit1, o=org1, c=CN' and
the right one by : 'dn:o=org1, ou=unit1, c=CN'. The order in the DNs is
significant so the two trees above are different.
I am no sure you could have the tree on the right because I think you should have
your Organization (o=org1) before your OrganizationalUnit (ou=unit1). But I am
not sure of it.
Hope it could help you. If someone know I am wrong somewhere, tell me please ; I
am new with LDAP too.
Manu.
