But other changetype: modify replace: foo work with your ConfigFile setting, correct?  So is it just this one for the chaining default instance config that does not work?

That is correct.

Your calling the dn "chaining default instance" just now has made me realize I'm trying to set the wrong attributes however. I shouldve looked at the dn more closely rather than just search for the attribute name to set. I'm not using chaining at all and have skipped the whole chapter of the admin guide. I was searching dse.ldif to find where the values found under "Performance" in the console could be set "programmatically". On a fresh instance with defaults, it turns out that these values arent found in dse.ldif yet. Not until you change them from their default, when they show up under cn=config. That sidesteps my original problem. Thanks for clearing it up and sorry about the confusion.
