This figure shows a partitioned directory. Server A holds a tree with dc=com
at the root, dc=acme as the root
of a subtree that includes c=us,
c=uk, and c=au.
Server B likewise holds a tree with dc=com
at the root, dc=acme as the root
of a subtree that includes c=us,
c=uk, and c=au.
However, on Server B, only c=au
is a replicated naming context. Both c=us
and c=uk are knowledge references
pointing back to those naming contexts on Server A.
