As we don't patch/modify the OpenLDAP on the Kolab Server in any way I  
think this should be no problem.

Did you wish to install the 32-bit machine as full Kolab server? If  
so, you might just adapt the LDAP server location in kolab.conf in the  
main 64-bit host. This might already work.

Gunnar
