I have read it the docs, but I have a question: Can I configure another ldap server even if it is in a different domain? 
Yes.

Example:

Chain 1 suffix : o=domain1
                                network1

Chain 2         suffix : o=domain2
                                network2

When I try to connect a ldap client I need to specify one of this suffix but I 
would like that the search of a contact occurs on both suffix. How can I do 
that?
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.
