Bind and OpenLDAP

What part are you having trouble with?

The representation of DNS FQDNs as "dc=" components in LDAP 
distinguished names? RFC 2247.

The composition/format of an "ldap://" URL? RFC 4516.

The only part I truly don't understand is the "dc=no 10800", but then 
I've never tried to integrate BIND with OpenLDAP...
