Yes.

See http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-zeilenga-ldap-namedref-03.txt  for details on Named Subordinate Referrals in LDAP.  (OpenLDAP
2.0.7 implements an earlier draft, but it should be close enough in
regards to this usage).

I also suggest you use the OpenLDAP provided ldapdelete(1) with -MM
to determine behavior of OpenLDAP.  If you have issue with this
behavior, start a thread on the OpenLDAP-software mailing list
<http://www.openldap.org/lists/>.
