   One of the things we're currently working on is hacking
together something to support automatic updates of our non-LDAP-
aware tools and to implement certain business logic rules for
our own directory. So, for instance, when an entry aquires an ou
of FOO, we would like to add their mail attribute (if any) to
the mailing list that happens to be associated with foo and also
add an ou: bar attribute to their entry. We've come up with a
number of approaches:  1. Have something periodically crawl the
directory and notice changes. 2. Have something periodically

and make that a replica of the main server.  Unless I have
grossly misread the documentation (which is, I must admit, a
possibility) there isn't an Apache-like module syntax whereby I
could manipulate data and then hand it to a pre-existing backend
(although some of our
