I've never looked at res_ldap but wouldn't a look at the schema tell you 
that?

Have successfully converted the OpenLDAP schema to a 389 DS version and imported it into my DIT.  Am now looking at https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/LDAP+Realtime+Driver so see how to configure Asterisk to query LDAP for the information.  I see that one needs to configure res_ldap.conf to set up the necessary server and bind variables for authentication followed by extconfig.conf.  What I am unsure of though is the following syntax:

voicemail = ldap,"ou=voicemail,dc=example,dc=domain",voicemail

so this would tell the voicemail module to query LDAP for the respective data under the OU voicemail.  Now what if the query failed ? would it then look to voicemail.conf so that you can have a mix between LDAP and flat file configuration files ?

All help appreciated :)
