Volume and Performance

[FOREST Laurent <laurent.forest@ca.sema.com>]

Hello,

for a subscriber database, my company is thinking of using an LDAP server.
So I am looking at the OpenLDAP implementation.

The main question is obviously about volume and performance.
I retrieved some benchmark tools and benchmark results performed on NT
platforms from this list's archives. I also saw many questions but not a lot
of answers about the limits OpenLDAP can stand.

Nevertheless, I am doing one more attempt:

Has anyone heard of benchmarks performed on a UNIX platform for OpenLDAP
with a volume comprised between 1 and 10 millions entries?
Is it sensible or definitely non-sense (because it is well beyond its
limits) to further investigate an OpenLDAP solution for such a large
dictionary?

Thank you very much, and sorry if I have missed an existing answer to these
questions in the archives.
