namedref-00: manageDsaIt question

["Kurt D. Zeilenga" <Kurt@OpenLDAP.Org>]

Given a scenerio as outlined on p5 but with the addition of a server A masters
"c=us", server B masters "o=abc,c=us", and server C has replicas of "c=US" and
"o=abc,c=us", what does server C return when base search with ManageDSAit
for "o=abc,c=us" return?

I would suspect it should return the "o=abc,c=us" referral entry replicated
from A and not the entry replicated from B.

This leads me to believe that a server should, when given any operation with
a ManageDSAit control, use the parent DN to determine which backend (DSA) to
obtain the target entry from.   However, doing so against server B would
to return a superior/default referral (hopefully to A).  That seems, oddly
enough, quite reasonable to me.

I'd appreciate some clarification in this area.
