I've not got a huge amount of experience with the memberUrl functionality. As I
understand it, the client application is responsible as you say (unless we had
the plugin)


I think in this case, the client application sees the ldap:/// and just parses
out the filter / base / scope, and uses that information only against the current
connected DS. So no, you don't need ldap://ldap.example.com in your Url. 


I think this is up to the client application though, so it would be well worth
you testing this in a staging environment. 

I have created a ticket for the addition of a memberUrl expansion plugin, so that
sometime in the future we can address your needs.

https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/48664


*if* we create this plugin, then your client application does *not* need to be
memberUrl aware, as DS would return a set of member/memberUid attrs dynamically
generated from that list. 


I hope this helps you.
