I've been looking at the X.500 draft recommendations (from November 1987) and
have a couple of questions:

If A1.A2. ... .Am is a DSN (each Ai being an RDN) of an alias entry, can
A1.A2. ... .Am. ... .An (n > m) possibly be a DSN, and if so what entry does it
refer to?  As well, are the entries in the result of a search operation
guaranteed to be unique?

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance,

Peter
