I don't see any "tutorial" at that URL, so I still don't know exactly 
what you're trying to do.  That document covers a number of different 
topics, not all of which will be used together.

I tried following the configuration in your earlier email a second time, 
and it looks like on one server, you're creating an LDBM database for 
the suffix "ou=bh,dc=mg", and then creating a link to another server for 
the same suffix.  I'm pretty sure you can only do one of those two 
things for a given suffix.  In other words, your configuration can't 
include two identical entries, 'cn="ou=bh,dc=mg",cn=mapping tree,cn=config'.

So, try explaining the topology that you're trying to achieve as an end 
result, and maybe we can give you a better idea of how to approach it.

On which host?  Your original message didn't give names or IP numbers 
for the servers, which you should include.

If that's the case, you probably don't want a database link, unless you 
want the "other" server to contain a database for which the "master" 
server will also answer.

If the two servers have different suffixes, how are they related?
