RFC4511 (section 4.5.3.1) shows that if a directory is split over several servers, then the client needs to wade through several redirections in order to get a definitive answer. It seems silly that every client would need to do this. Is there any (free) library that does all of this logic and just returns a GOOD/BAD/UNKNOWN result?

LDAP_OPT_REFERRAL_URLS
Sets/gets an array containing the referral URIs associated to the LDAP handle. outvalue must be a char *, and the caller is responsible of freeing the returned string by calling ldap_memvfree(3), while invalue must be a NULL-terminated char *const *; the library duplicates the corresponding string. This option is OpenLDAP specific.
LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS
Determines whether the library should implicitly chase referrals or not. invalue must be const int *; its value should either be LDAP_OPT_OFF or LDAP_OPT_ON. outvalue must be int *.
