Net::LDAP correctly implements the "paged-search" control, so there is
no limit on the number of entries you can query from A/D. If your set
is particularly large (more than 10,000 for example), then I recommend
you use the :return_result => false flag. See the rdocs for
Net::LDAP#search for more information.
