optimizing the directory because returning
referrals in response to scoped searches is
more efficient. Takes the values on or off.

Can be both a global and instance attribute. This global configuration attribute is located in the cn=config,
cn=chaining database,cn=plugins,cn=config entry. The global attributes are dynamic, meaning any
changes made to them automatically take effect on all instances of the database link within the directory.
