Yes.

I'm not sure.  But you cannot have the server search more than one base 
DN in a search.  For example:
If you have o=domain1 and o=domain2 as top level suffixes (naming 
contexts) in your server, you cannot issue one ldapsearch request to 
search both of these.

However, if you can change the base DN that the clients use, you could 
do something like this:
o=toplevel - a "real" backend
+-o=domain1 - either a referral or a chaining backend
+-o=domain2 - either a referral or a chaining backend

Referrals are the simplest, assuming all of your clients can follow 
referrals.  Then all your clients have to do is search o=toplevel.
