## slapd.conf
database		ldbm
suffix			"ou=db1,dc=domain,dc=com"
...

database 		ldbm
suffix			"ou=db2,dc=domain,dc=com"
...

database		ldbm
suffix			"dc=domain,dc=com"



A couple of points to make about this.

  o This superior DB must be listed in slapd.conf
    after the subordinate DBs

  o When using replication list this, you can use
    a single replogfile for all changes

  o You will need subordinate knowledge references
    (i.e. referrals) from the superior DN to the 
    child partitions.
