!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([DRL]) manage references throughout the [NDS] tree and are automatically maintained by the [NDS] [Backlinker] Process. 

[{$pagename}] identify a [Partition Root Entry], and that the specified [partition] contains an object that references the object with the [UsedBy] attribute. 

[{$pagename}] (DRLs) work with [NDS External References] to maintain connectivity in the eDirectory tree. 

[{$pagename}] were added in NetWare 5.0 and replace [BackLink]. 
[{$pagename}] have the advantage of referencing a [Partition Root Entry] rather than a specific server. 

The [BackLinks] required a server to communicate with every server that contains a read/write replica of the partition the [BackLink] resides on. When information is needed about a DRL, any server with a replica of the partition can supply the information.

%%warning
Starting with [eDirectory 8.8.8.0 (20801.46)] the [{$pagename}] ([DRL]) method has been removed! \\ \\ Support for [NetWare] was removed in versions after [eDirectory 8.8.5.0 (20219.15)]!

For backward compatibility with [NetWare] 4.x servers, eDirectory maintains [BackLink] with [NetWare] 4.x servers. However, these servers must be running at least [NDS] version 599a in a mixed [NetWare] 4.x and [NetWare] 5.x network.
