The only way I foresee to obtain what you need is to use the
EXPERIMENTAL back-meta. You can configure it to point
at the three servers, so that the queries for '(uid=userX)' are
spawned to the three servers and the matching results are
returned. Unfortunately, as it is being developed yet, it is poorly
documented. You may get it form the cvs tree by checking out
the HEAD branch. You'll find a brief explanation of its
capabilities and of the specific configuration parameters
in servers/slapd/back-meta/Documentation
