I don't quite understand what you want to achieve, but there are  a
few scenarios:

,----[1. two slapd instances with referral]
| database bdb
| suffix cn=Home
| directory ../database1
| rootdn cn=admin
| 
| database bdb
| suffix cn=gstorage
| directory ../database2
| rootdn cn=admin
| 
| dn: cn=gstorage
| objectclass: referral
| objectclass: extensibleObject
| cn: gstorage
| ref: ldap://localhost:3389/cn=gstorage??sub??
`----

,----[ 2. two slapd instances with back-ldap ]
| database ldap
| suffix cn=gstorage
| uri ldap://localhost:3389
| rootdn cn=admin
| 
| database bdb
| suffix cn=Home
| directory ../database
| rootdn cn=admin
`----

,----[ 3. single slapd instance ]
| database bdb
| suffix cn=Home
| directory ../database1
| rootdn cn=admin
| subordinate
| 
| database bdb
| suffix cn=gstorage
| directory ../database2
| rootdn cn=admin
| subordinate
| 
| database bdb
| suffix ""
| directory ../database3
| rootdn cn=admin
| rootpw
`----
