You request becoming more clear, become also less exotic :-)

Which kind of entry do you add ?
Isn't the same as I described previously ? (add an entry in the address book ?)

The only problem with that is that the address book is the same for all domains,
and shared between all users. This design is inherited from older
kolab and could only
change with kolab 3.x (They said no change in ldap tree in 2.X, to
keep compatibility).

Just add an 'hidden' attribute to addressbook entries and the relevant
ACL in the slapd access
should do the trick.
