Could you paraphrase (e.g. similar to what I have below) your configuration for this? > Is there a way to make it so searches of dc=parent also search the > database in dc=child,dc=parent?

The chain overlay wouldn't be the right feature for this specific requirement, if 'subordinate' doesn't do what you want, back-meta might. > I get "Already exists (68)" from the > server. If you have: database xxx suffix dc=child,dc=parent subordinate [...] databse xxx suffix dc=parent [...] then, subject to normal access rules, this should just work. > I figure I'm missing something simple, or doing something stupid.
