The above sounds basically correct.  Perhaps you could coordinate with 
Gavin in contributing it directly into the admin guide.  This topic 
belongs to both replication and chaining, so I'd leave him any editing 
choice.  I'd just add that you may want to add

chain-return-error TRUE

in fact, by default, if chaining fails, the original referral is 
returned to the client, under the assumption that the client might want 
to try different measures to reach its goal.  With this statement, if 
chaining fails at the provider's side, the actual error is returned to 
the client.
