Hi Eugene, All changes you make to a translucent proxy will be written to the local database. They are not written upstream. I think you will want to mess with the chain overlay to produce an affect like that.
I have been able to achieve what you are proposing by creating a subordinate database for my entirely new objects. The translucent proxy serves and modifies objects at dc=example,dc=org, and the subordinate database lives at ou=ext,dc=example,dc=org.
