Seems like a good idea to me.

I presume it would not be a list of search bases to be applied to just 
one server but rather a list of <server,base> tuples.

As an implementation and use issue I would think you would want some 
mechanism by which the <server,base> was returned with the result so 
that some business logic could be applied based on which base produced 
the result.
