In the end, I might manage to send the *actual* converted regex :( :

      access to
dn.regex="^dc=\b\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\b\.in-addr\.arpa,ou=dns,dc=example,dc=com$"
      by group.exact="cn=Admins,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com" write
becomes:
      to
dn.regex="^dc=bd{1,3}.d{1,3}.d{1,3}b.in-addr.arpa,ou=dns,dc=example,dc=com$"
by group/groupOfNames/member.exact="cn=admins,ou=groups,dc=noa,dc=gr" write

Please advise.

What you've posted is expected behavior. The single backslashes were parsed by 
the slapd.conf parser. To actually get them into the regex you need to escape 
those backslashes as well. This is already documented in slapd.conf(5) and in 
the Admin Guide.
