It can, with a bit of work with rewrite rules.  We also have a patch
that allows more and more granularity in deciding where a non-existing
entry will be located in a distributed database, based on the DN (or,
content-based knowledge can be exploited by other operations to optimize
candidate selection).  Eventually, we plan to contribute it.
