Hi folk,

I have quite a number of trees set up ... accounts, people, hosts, printers, mounts, etc etc etc. Right now they are all under one big database, dc=ncsu,dc=edu in separate ou containers. Sometimes I find myself wishing I had the ability to set things like...

on people I want the sizelimit to be 500
on printers I want no limit
on hosts I want sizelimit 1
... basically limits based off the trees.

To date I haven't found a way to do this and unless I'm mistaken, the limits command is tied to a specific database. (different from the sizelimit command which appears to be global)

So I have a two part question here.. first off, are there good pros or serious cons to splitting up trees into multiple configured databases? Is that a horrible terrible idea? If you search at the root of dc=ncsu,dc=edu and ou=people,dc=ncsu,dc=edu is a separate database, will the search carry over into ou=people?

Generally I'm just trying to think of things in a "could I be doing this better" way at the moment. I mean tons of things use cn. Would it be helpful if each tree had it's own index of cn instead of "one big" cn index?

Likewise, is there any use of the limits command that I'm just not aware of that lets you specific based off the search tree what the limitations are?

Thanks for whatever thoughts y'all might have!

Daniel
