rootdn is specific to database

here are two examples
,----
| database bdb
| suffix dc=example,dc=com
| rootdn cn=foo,dc=example,dc=com
| directory /var/lib/ldap
| ...
| database bdb
| suffix o=example,c=GB
| rootdn cn=bar,o=example,c=GB
| directory /usr/local/var/ldap
| ...
`----


an other approach with subordinate databases

,----[ subordinate database ]
| database bdb
| suffix ou=sales,dc=example,dc=com
| directory /var/lib/ldap
| ...
| subordinate
| 
| database bdb
| suffix dc=example,dc=com
| rootdn cn=foo,dc=example,dc=com
| directory /usr/local/var/ldap
| ...
