Thanks for the reply as I mentioned in my previous email I assumed that
when I created the sub suffix database for dc=b,dc=example,dc=com it would
automaticly add the dn to the database but it doesn't so I manualy added it
and it works now.
For clarity that step should be added to the documentation.
The way I figured it out is I just tried to add a new subdomain without
adding a sub suffix and I got a warning message saying I may wan to add the
sub suffix first

There should not be any problem to create sub suffix starting with "dc".
$ ldapsearch -LLLx [...] -b "dc=example,dc=com" dn
dn: dc=example,dc=com
dn: dc=B,dc=example,dc=com
dn: dc=C,dc=example,dc=com
dn: dc=D,dc=example,dc=com
I put dc=B in Broot, dc=C in Croot, and dc=D in Droot.
$ ls /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-ID/db
Broot/ DBVERSION NetscapeRoot/ __db.002 __db.004 __db.006
userRoot/
Croot/ Droot/ __db.001 __db.003 __db.005 log.0000000001
Do you see any errors in the error log?
