I didn't know about ldap referrals but I read it up and now have an idea
what they're about.

http://sunschlichter0.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/Java/jnditutorial/ldap/referral/overview.html

and here it is from the sniff I took:

Lightweight-Directory-Access-Protocol
    LDAPMessage searchResRef(2)
        messageID: 2
        protocolOp: searchResRef (19)
            searchResRef: 1 item
                Item: 
ldap://DomainDnsZones.ww004.glanzmann.net/DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=ww004,DC=glanzmann,DC=net

Again, thank you a lot!
