It may be possible to accomplish this, but you have a bigger problem than
that. Who is ultimately responsible for your network? They should be the one
that should have the authority to fix this. If No One person is sresponsible
for Network services then you will have many problems like this in the
future.
Alternatively, You have a few choices.
1. Do what you propose = Alot of work and research and it may not be a
success
2. Combine the two LDAP servers into one server with two trees make sure to
use the least expensive non-proprietary server.
3. Install two routers and break the departments out of the sharing the same
network. This is only cost effective if it prevents problems like this in
the future. It may break other services too.
BTW shame on the other guy for not checking the services that were running
first before installing the same one. How many resources did he waste of the
organizations' time and money by not doing his homework.

Subject: OpenLDAP + User Authentication
I have an LDAP server which I'm using to authenticate my users from.
Recently, another dept here put their own LDAP server in place with a
different set of users that may/may not be in my LDAP.
What I'd like to do is have my machines attempt to authenticate a user
from my LDAP, and if the user doesn't exist, have the LDAP refer to the
other dept's LDAP server. Is this possible with LDAP? If so, can
anyone point me to where I can read up on this? I found a little
information on superior referrals, but no detailed information on how it
works.
