In that way I have no different behavior between the original entry and the view one. > > It's not possible to do a search like > ldapsearch -s sub -b "dc=top" "(uid=jondoe)" > ? yes, but does a smaller basedn slower the search in case of thousands of entries? there's one more case where that behavior can be useful: in the above example, if I got o=example ltd is a dblink to server1 and o=company ltd is a dblink on server2 searching on dc=top would result in a search on two servers, while searching in the right tree will search only on the "right" one - except for a fast search for domain - and in mail environment we always know the domain.
