referrals with 1.2.11

["Downs, John" <JDowns@comversens.com>]

      Greeting, I'm trying to setup referrals on a 1.2.11 server running
FreeBSD4.0. 

This is my referral line in the slapd.conf:

referral			ldap://red-baron.ism.comversens.com/

When my client software does a query on an entry that doesn't exist the
referred machine(red-baron) returns
and answer directly. We expected the original server to return the URL of
the referred server so that
the client could make the query directly. 


Am I missing something here? Is this called an automatic referral? If yes
how do I turn off automatic
referrals?

Thank You!!
