Ok, now pam comes into play.  You never mentioned you were connecting
with ssh, so I my crystal ball made me believe you were directly
connecting to slapd with a LDAP client.  Now my crystal ball is working
much better, so I'll try to make it as simple as possible.

You connect with an ssh client from 172.16.4.100 to a sshd on
172.16.4.120.  The sshd uses pam_ldap to auth on slapd, which is
anywhere.  So the LDAP connection is from the pam_ldap layer under the
sshd, which is located on 172.16.4.120, and slapd sees the LDAP
connection coming from 172.16.4.120.  Simple enough?

Perhaps, since you trust so much ACLs by IP, you should at least know
what path your connections follow.
