Maybe he could set up two backends like

backend ldap
suffix ou=people,dc=...
subordinate
...

backend bdb
suffix dc=...
...

This way the Queries for User accounts below ou=people would be
forwarded to the other LDAP server and he could add eg. ou=group,dc=...
to the bdb backend.

At least in theory.

Read man pages slapd-ldap et al.
