from man 5 slapd.conf:

 updateref <url>
              Specify the referral to pass back when slapd(8)  is
              asked  to  modify  a replicated local database.  If
              specified multiple times, each url is provided.

To my understanding you can never update something on a slave slapd and
then have it updated on the master - that would make it a master by
itself. Your slave should return a referral to the master, and your
client should update it there - then it gets updated on the slave too.
See: http://www.OpenLDAP.org/doc/admin/config.html

You can avoid mistakes by only giving the update dn of the master write
acces to the slave.

If this is not what you meant then i missed your point, sorry.
