automatic referrals



Suppose I have 3 ldap servers with dn
   uid=..., o=inst1, c=BE
   uid=..., o=inst2, c=BE
   uid=..., o=inst3, c=BE

how can I install a central server that automatically refers to the right
server ? Can it be done ?

Can I create a server o=central, c=BE  which refers requests in the
form uid=..., o=inst1, o=central, c=BE to the first ldap server ?
If so, where should I put the referral info ? Just create a ldif file
with 3 entries like these ?
dn: o=inst1, o=central, c=BE
objectclass: referral
ref: ldap://ldapserver1/o=inst1, c=BE

Do i need some extra entries in the ldif file ?

All help or references to information about referrals would be very
welcome.

Thanks & Greetings,
