I figured this out on my own and so I thought I would post what I found for
others.
You do in fact have to put your schema ldif under the
slapd-<host>/config/schema dir.
You also need to prefix it with a number so it's rolled in in the right
order. I used "50" which smacks of application level changes and not the low
level system changes like "oo" or "25".

Subject: Dir Server 5.0 Loosing Schema Changes
I'm having a very consitent problem with iplanet dir server 5.0 forgeting my
schema changes when the NT service is bounced.
I'm updating the schema using an LDIF file run thru the ldapmodify utility.
My schema changes are just adding new custom attributes and new
objectclasses like everyone else does... nothing special. Works great ...
unless I restart the NT service (slapd). All my custom changes are lost.
Bummer.
It appears that my changes a RAM only and not persisted. I'm reluctant to
think this is a bug, it's too consistent. Perhaps I need to put the LDIF
file in a slapd dir somewhere so it's read upon startup (??). I didn't find
anything on iplanet's online help.
Any insight would be much appreciated
