That suffix is always attached to the ldap base from the point of view 
of the client - ie the client needs to use the same as that is defined 
in the server. It does not have to be public, nor to be available by 
internal lookups.
It seems people tend to make up a name like:
dc=my_company,dc=com,dc=country
