Whoops, we actually require a different syntax...

Given two DITs "dc=main" running on mainserver and "dc=sub,dc=main"
running on subserver:

Adding the entry:
	dn: dc=sub,dc=main
	objectclass: referral
	ref: ldap://subserver/dc=sub,dc=main

to mainserver's "dc=main" backend will cause mainserver to refer
searches within "dc=sub,dc=main" to subserver.

Please direct questions concerning configuration of OpenLDAP Software
to our software list.
