You'll need a plugin configuration entry:

# plugin configuration entry
dn: cn=Distributed Numeric Assignment Plugin,cn=plugins,cn=config
objectclass: top
objectclass: nsSlapdPlugin
objectclass: extensibleObject
objectclass: nsContainer
cn: Distributed Numeric Assignment Plugin
nsslapd-plugininitfunc: dna_init
nsslapd-plugintype: preoperation
nsslapd-pluginenabled: on
nsslapd-plugindescription: Distributed Numeric Assignment plugin
nsslapd-pluginvendor: Fedora Project
nsslapd-pluginVersion: 1.1
nsslapd-pluginId: distributed-numeric-assignment
nsslapd-pluginPath: /home/prowley/srv/lib/fedora-ds/plugins/libdna-plugin.so

modify the last attribute to point to the directory the plugin is in on 
your system.

some sample configuration for posix:

# add plugin configuration for posix users

dn: cn=Posix,cn=Distributed Numeric Assignment Plugin,cn=plugins,cn=config
objectclass: top
objectclass: nsContainer
objectclass: extensibleObject
cn: Posix

dn: cn=Accounts,cn=Posix,cn=Distributed Numeric Assignment Plugin,cn=plugins,cn=config
objectclass: top
objectclass: extensibleObject
cn: Accounts
dnaType: uidNumber
dnaNextValue: 500
dnaInterval: 4
dnaMagicRegen: 499
dnaFilter: (objectclass=posixAccount)

# add plugin configuration for posix groups

dn: cn=Groups,cn=Posix,cn=Distributed Numeric Assignment Plugin,cn=plugins,cn=config
objectclass: top
objectclass: extensibleObject
cn: Groups
dnaType: gidNumber
dnaNextValue: 500
dnaInterval: 4
dnaMagicRegen: 499
dnaFilter: (objectclass=posixGroup)


dnaInterval should be set to (at minimum) the number of masters you have.
