Figure 5.8. Redirecting a Query to a Different Server and Namespace
Finally, if multiple suffixes are served on the same server, queries can be redirected from one
namespace to another namespace served on the same machine. For example, to redirect all queries
on the local machine for o=example,c=us to dc=example,dc=com, then put the smart referral
ldap:///dc=example, dc=com on the o=example,c=us entry.
