Sorry, no.  It's irritating but normal for LDAP clients to try several
searches until one succeeds, and to not offer a way to turn off searches
that the user knows will find nothing.  Furthermore "no such object" can
mean user misconfiguration - "you must point the group base DN at an
actual entry" while no search results is normal.  Assuming that group DN
is actually configured and necessary, of course.

I've lost track of this discussion a bit, but anyway: Possibly it would
help to point the group DN at the parent entry so that a search for the
"group" will find users too.  Depends on whether group searches use
subtree scope and filter for groups.
