Hello Aaron, An offtopic on my part from the SRSS list, and certainly from the original question - but perhaps you should try setting up a replicated local LDAP server? The Sun Directory Servers allow for multimaster replication, rather limited in 5.x (up to four masters, I believe) and unlimited in DSEE 6.x.
To simplify things for the client software (Solaris OS, etc), you can also set up a Directory Proxy server. It acts like an LDAP server, but actually forwards the clients' requests to real r/w (master) and r/o (consumer) servers. This lets your clients have one configured "LDAP source" which takes care of your current LDAP server farm and networking conditions (i.e. prefers the local servers, then fails over to remote servers). It can also compensate for clients which don't implement LDAP referrals well (i.e. when the users mostly work with a read-only consumer server and it refers them to do writes to a master server). This should also make your local network work (and let users log in) if the connection breaks between offices. There are numerous blogs and official documentation that detail such setups.
