Thinking back, I think the idea here is that you might have a set of nested databases connected by referral entries. E.g.,

database ldbm suffix dc=sub,dc=example,dc=com

database ldbm suffix dc=example,dc=com

If you had an referral entry in the superior DB that pointed to the sub database, you would need the manageDSAit control to be able to operate on the referral entry.

None of this really makes sense post 2.1 since subordinate/glue makes it superfluous.

I'm going to rip all of that out.
