That's why we have been looking at FDS.
If you Howard Chu is to be believed, Cisco is a lousy reference for LDAP
(see message from 7/18).

Howard notes that Richard Megginson reviewed the configuration of the
FDS server used in the benchmark.
In my own experience, OpenLDAP leaked memory, was prone to db
corruption, and was a lousy development platform (attributes requested
by alias were returned by canonical name, which makes aliases useless in
application development). Those were pretty serious problems, but I
haven't used OpenLDAP in several years. Symas *looks* like it's pretty
serious about making OpenLDAP a better platform. A lot can change in
several years' time.
I'm comfortable with FDS. It's more than fast enough for what I need,
it's stable, and applications developed on FDS are easily portable to
Sun's directory server. However, if OpenLDAP is developing into a
compelling platform, then I'm more inclined to test my applications
against it, and consider it for future deployments.
