Well, you just got one (see my post). Now someone tell me the answer to

I only have one (set of) client utilities that understands referrals at 
all, while shell and Perl scripts running on the consumer - some using 
OpenLDAP clients (which don't understand referrals) - are absolutely 
dependent on chaining. So thank deity I found out how by persisting and 
reading the OL docs.
