Yes it should. IIRC all that RFC does is define some new attributes and
objectclasses for the server, hence any LDAP server that supports
extending the schema should support the RFC. The key part is not the
server setup, but the client setup. You need to look at Section 5, and
in particular Section 5.1.
Reading RFC 2307 Section 5.1 and 5.2 but it is still vague for me.
Which OS and which software module has Secction 5.2 functions implemented ?
A good book on this topic is LDAP System Administration by Gerald
Carter:

I have this book and it will be on my desk, open and be read.
