Answer : Append LDAP Query

if you need and AND relation ship do:

(& (&(objectCategory=contact)(mail=*hrcwest.com)) (&....original from 1st line of code...)    )

if you need a more intelligent answer.. because you might need to merge it somewhere in the middle i'm afraid I cant help...
it might be an idea to write out the complex current query and try to restructure it...  there seems to be quite a lot of duplicate items to be tested & queried.  
(Please lookup karnau diagram & boolean algebra).  It might make quite a difference in speed.
