No.  Updates to a replicated DIT cause the default referral to
be sent to the client.  This should be backend specific and
could easily be modified to be so.  I'm doing lots of work
on referrals right now (in -devel).  I'll add that per-backend
replica referrals to my growing todo list.

man slurpd(8) or the U-Mich guide.
