No Replication keeps the data in sync.
   That said I am not sure whether we can replicate from Open LDAP towards
389DS.

Here is some Chaining documentation:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_directory_server/11/html/administration_guide/configuring_directory_databases-creating_and_maintaining_database_links
To answer your question:
    For chaining to work properly you must organize your DIT such a way
that entries belongs on different backend So the DIT will looks like
        uid=user1,ou=users,ou=local data,dc=domain,dc=com
        uid=ext1_user1,ou=users,ou=openldap data,dc=domain,dc=com
        uid=ext2_user1,ou=users,ou=AD data,dc=domain,dc=com

So a bind on uid=user1,ou=users,ou=local data,dc=domain,dc=com will be
handled locally
a bind on uid=user1,ou=users,ou=local data,dc=domain,dc=com will be handled
locally
a bind on uid=ext1_user1,ou=users,ou=openldap data,dc=domain,dc=com  will
be send toward open ldap
a bind on  uid=ext2_user1,ou=users,ou=AD data,dc=domain,dc=com  will be
sent on AD

But a subtree search on dc=domain,dc=com will be sent on the 3 LDAP servers

I will let the Open ldap expert answer this one ! -;)
