Sorry about the mischan, gmail picked the wrong address to reply to and I didn't catch it. My build is passing test017, test018, and test032. There is no attempt made to chase the referral from what I can tell. That is exactly my problem. Here is the log from the slave server during an attempt to add an entry.

May 8 14:46:14 arch slapd[17991]: slapd starting

I executed the following on the slave server.
[ssanders@arch ~]$ ldapadd -x -ZZ -D 'cn=admin,dc=domain,dc=com' -W -f test.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "cn=Bill Sanders,ou=people,dc=domain,dc=com"
ldap_add: Referral (10)
referrals:
ldap://info.domain.com:389/cn=Bill%20Sanders,ou=people,dc=domain,dc=com

I'm stumped.

You should verify from the slave's and the master's logs that an attempt
is made to chase the referral, and determine why it fails.  All in all,
if your build passes test007 and test018 the overlay is working fine,
and I don't see anything odd in your configuration, at a first glance.
