Assuming your entry cache contains every entry (that is, assuming you 
have enough RAM to cache every entry), you can query the entry cache 
count and that should be the number of entries in your directory 
server.  This is the (apparently) undocumented attribute called 
currentEntryCacheCount in the cn=monitor entry for each database.
