Re: Database meta does not have any root node

["michel.gruau" <michel.gruau@laposte.net>]

I managed to make it work but using subtree-exclude instead:

database meta
suffix ou=A,o=B,c=C
uri ldap://server1/ou=A,o=B,c=C
subtree-exclude "ou=S2,ou=A,o=B,c=C"
uri ldap://server2/ou=S2,ou=A,o=B,c=C

This way, requests to ou=S2,ou=A,o=B,c=C are not seen by server1. Which is exactlly 
what I wanted to do.

By the way, I don't understand why your solution does not work. But never mind.

Many thanks for your help because I was not aware of this possibility 
to use the subtree-{include|exclude}.

May be such an example could be added in slapd-meta man page ?

By the way, could you tell me how you understand this message on slapd startup ?
"WARNING: No dynamic config support for database meta."
