FDS has a chaining backend which allows you to use another LDAP server
to store the data.
It sounds like the FDS chaining backend is similar to OpenLDAP back-ldap
and/or the chaining overlay. In OpenLDAP back-ldap forwards a request to
one other server (at a time; multiple servers can be configured but the
others will only be used if the first server cannot be contacted). The
back-meta backend is a superset of back-ldap, it can fanout single
requests to multiple servers in parallel and aggregate the results.
(There's also attribute mapping and DN rewriting, but those capabilities
are no longer unique to back-meta, having been moved into the rewrite
overlay.) With these modules you can stitch together a variety of
heterogeneous directories into a coherent virtual directory.
