One alternative way is to use Penrose, an open source virtual directory. We just released version 1.2 yesterday, http://penrose.safehaus.org. Penrose uses the latest stable release of ApacheDS and MINA.

If you are talking of another Ldap server, then trapping requests in protocol-ldap module (each message has a messageReceived handler) could be a possible way to go. Simply derive your own ldap-procy-protocol to do it (you will have to manage communication with the other servers). If you think about storage, that's a different story. You will have to plug a different partition after the interceptors chain. > > <snip/> > > Also, is there a seperate front end (proxy server) installation of > Apache DS > available?
