Re: running DB on different machine than slapd

This appears to be difficult using the Berkeley
DB.

Makes no sense at all, given that BerkeleyDB is an *embedded* database. I.e., it doesn't run in a separate process, it is designed to run in the same process as the application that uses it.

Can anyone offer suggestions on how to run
slapd and the database --- any database ---
on separate machines?

Why? I think if you provide more details about your motivation it would be easier to suggest usable alternatives.
