In nslcd.conf you can set the pagesize option to only request a specific 
number of entries at a time. See the nslcd.conf(5) manual page for 
details.

In the LDAP server you need to allow large paged queries (sizelimit 
size.prtotal=unlimited in slapd.conf). For OpenLDAP, by default the query 
limit (size.hard) is used.

Another approach would be to limit the number of users that are exposed 
to the system by using the base passwd .. and filter passwd ... options.
