If you are simply using the directory to authenticate, then you can
probably get by with a dual master setup each a small pizza box from
your favorite vendor. ( 2Ghz Core2 Duo, 2GB RAM, some SATA RAID disk
for mirroring, faster ethernet.  )

Index your authentication id (uid, cn).

If you plan to use it for more than just authentication, such as
authorization (group ID membership or Shibboleth federated style
authentication) or if you plan to allow UNIX interactive logins where
name services will be provide (e.g. when you type ls at the command
prompt it looks up each file to see who uidNumber 111 is) then you may
want to spread the wealth a little more.   I can''t comment on the
sizing in that case as I''ve never had more than 40k accounts against a
Master/Slave setup.

I hope that is helpful.
