auto-complete from multiple directories whentyping recipient address

Hi, I have created a 2nd directory server in Entourage as an addition to the GAL already in place for my Exchange 2007 account.
I can search both directories, so they are working, however Entourage only seems to auto-complete from the directory on the Exchange account when composing, not the 2nd one.
Is there a config option I am missing to allow this? I tried setting LDAP directory #2 as default but no luck.

thanks!
Trevor

Auto-complete or Check Names?

In the case of the former - Entourage actually doesn't auto-complete
from any LDAP servers. Auto-complete works with your local Address Book
and the MRU (http://www.entourage.mvps.org/glossary/mru.html).

Check Names should work with any and all LDAP servers, although this is
not an area in which I have much experience.

Auto-complete will work with the LDAP server in an Exhange account but
not with Directory Services. The nature of LDAP is lookup only, IIRC.
