recent OpenLDAP releases (2.4.x) should be fine with just about any
size of DIB (if properly tuned):
e.g. http://www.connexitor.com/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=203
or http://www.connexitor.com/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=191

not that desinging/optimizing the DIT structure is bad in any way and
some are possbily stuck with products less well equipped ;)
