Alex, I'm totaly new to ApacheDS and and I don't really see where to go with your solution. I mean do I just need to do what you suggest and launch the server (as explained on the web site) and it will do the trick ? I believe that would only allow using ApacheDS as one (1) proxy server, meaning that I can't use the same ApacheDS server to proxy multiple LDAP servers or even use it jointly as an LDAP server.
