How to modify a single attribute from multiple list of attributes



How do I modify/delete a single attribute from the directory when I have multiple attributes of the same name.
For example, given the following ldif:
	dn: cn=config,o=dhcp
	cn: config
	objectClass: top
	objectClass: dhcpService
	objectClass: dhcpOptions
	dhcpPrimaryDN: cn=server1,o=dhcp
	dhcpStatements: default-lease-time 600
	dhcpStatements: max-lease-time 1200
	dhcpStatements: ddns-update-style none
	dhcpStatements: boot-unknown-clients on
	dhcpStatements: log-facility local7

How would I modify just one of the dhcpStatements: attributes, for example, change 'dhcpStatements: log-facility local7' to 'dhcpStatements: log-facility local3'?

I've tried an ldif with:
	dn: cn=config,o=dhcp
	changetype: modify
	replace: dhcpStatements log-facility local7
	dhcpStatements: log-facility local3
But that just gave me an error:
	ldapmodify: Undefined attribute type (17)  additional info:
	dhcpStatements log-facility local7: AttributeDescription
	contains inappropriate characters.

I've also tried:
	dn: cn=config,o=dhcp
	changetype: modify
	replace: dhcpStatements
	dhcpStatements: log-facility local3
But that just gave me an error:
    replace modify:
        dhcpStatements
    replace dhcpStatements:
        log-facility local3
    modifying entry "cn=config,o=dhcp"
    modify complete
    ldapmodify: Undefined attribute type (17)
        additional info: modify: attribute type undefined

I can use 'delete: dhcpStatements' but that deletes all of the dhcpStatements and then I have to add all of them back with the modification to the one that's needed.

So, what ldapmodify/ldif syntax is needed to specify which of multiple attributes should be modified?
Thanks!
