Release: 8.5.1

Reproducible: Not applicable

I am setting up another directory on a single domain. The new directory has Internet Email addresses outside of the Notes domain. They want to keep these separate from their in-house Notes email addresses, but be able to lookup the names when creating an email in their Notes mail file.

So, I am trying to use the Extended Directory and Directory Assistance features of Domino.

Here is what I have done so far:
1. Created new directory using the PUBNAMES.ntf template called opsnames.nsf
2. Added a Extended Directory Configuration document into the main names.nsf of the domain referencing the new opsnames.nsf directory (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.help.domino.admin.doc/DOC/H_EXTENDING_NOTES_NAME_LOOKUPS_LDAP_QUERIES_AND_AUTHENTICATION_TO_SECONDARY_DOMINO_DIRECTORIES_2650_STEPS.html) --- I integrated it, so I skipped steps 4 and 5
3. Created a Directory Assistance database using the Directory Assistance template called da.nsf
4. Created a Directory Assistance document (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.help.domino.admin.doc/DOC/H_EXTENDING_NOTES_NAME_LOOKUPS_LDAP_QUERIES_AND_AUTHENTICATION_TO_SECONDARY_DOMINO_DIRECTORIES_2650_STEPS.html) in the da.nsf database referencing the opsnames.nsf on the Replicas tab
5. Restarted the server

The server recognizes that Directory Assistance is running, based on what the "show xdir" command on the server returns:
show xdir
DomainName DirectoryType ClientProtocol Replica/LDAP Server
--------------- --------------------- -------------- -----------------------
1 LHI Primary-Notes Notes & LDAP names.nsf
Directory Assistance Database 'da.nsf' in use

I have read and re-read the help docs and searched a this forum and 6/7 forum. Any help would be great -- appreciate it!

Thanks!
Dan
