You should only specify one rootDN per database.

You could, if appropriate, map more than one authc identity to your rootDN
(via authz-regexp entries). However, consider reserving rootDN access for
exceptional cases, and configure multiple administrative users with write
access to your database(s) via properly configured ACLs.

See chapter 8 of the OpenLDAP Admin Guide.
