This is not possible with standard LDAP; you probably need to use the 
black magic of the growing collection of overlays. For example, how 
would you store cn=foo,dc=example,dc=com on a server which has a base 
context of dc=countryA,dc=example,dc=com? The hierarchies do not match.

This is possible, just by creating a branch called "dc=countryA" on the 
first server and replicating/synching entries from server2 into that branch.


The typical way this is done is to install an empty root server with a 
naming context "dc=example,dc=com" and put referrals to all of the 
country based servers, e.g.

dc=de,dc=example,dc=com
dc=uk,dc=example,dc=com

etc...
