I can't get it to work (keep getting "<naming context> of URI does not
resolve to a backend").

The way I understand this is that a URI in back-meta must resolve to a
locally configured back-ldap; is that right?

What I want to do is to have a search base of e.g. o=RSC which points to
a back-bdb. One tree in that (ou=People,o=RSC) must be proxied in to
an internal OpenLDAP LDAP server (ou=People,dc=retail). What would be
the best way for me to do this?

Thanks for your help. Regards,
