Very well, i had the feeling that suffix was not the way to go. For now Im not 
planning to distribute my directory in a replication, multi-master mode etc. I 
want to stay with just one standalone directory server. 

What feature is needed to be enabled in order to achieve custom database 
configurations?can this be implemented by setting up several logical databases 
or it implies to do a distributed deployment?
