:-)

I don't know if the representation of knowledge (which is used when
returning a referral/continuation reference) over LDAP is standardized or
not. (It doesn't seem to be.)

As it is therefore a proprietrary feature, you will have to check your
server's documentation. You might find that you need to use a control. If
there is a control called something like managedsait, that's the one you
should probably use.
