Thanks. Unfortunately, the backend servers aren't running OpenLDAP, so syncrepl is out. I can still pull down their schemas and merge them in, sure. But since I'm basically just using slapd to federate these other servers, I was sort of hoping there was a more transparent option that just passed things through without requiring a local schema match.
Thanks for the replies.
