Whilst this is probably true for most deployments it is not true in the
general case. Consider DIT A>B>C>D where A,B, C, D are RDNs
and held as separate naming contexts. Say A is held in server 1, B
in server 2, C in server 3, D in server 1
Then server 1 would hold
A entry
B subref to 2
C glue or subref to 3
D entry
which negates your assumption above.

AGAIN false in the general case, server 1 could hold
A entry
B subref to 2
C immed supr ref to 3
D entry
> superior reference is stored in the root DSA.
This one we agree upon !!
