I added an updateref statement to my slave/consumer server, referring back to the master/producer:

Howver, nothing is logged on the master, and the client bombs out with:
LDAP password information update failed: Can't contact LDAP server
With which tool are you trying to update the password?
If you configured "pam_ldap" and are using "passwd" to change your password, this should work, as "pam_ldap" will follow referrals.
If you are using "ldapmodify" (or "ldapadd", "ldappasswd", etc.) it will not work since those tools do not follow referrals (AFAIR).
