Bash "HERE documents " help

I'm trying to enter a block of text into an existing configuration file for OpenLDAP so the setup can be fully scripted.

The text below is what I want to enter into slapd.conf and this all works well and good, however as you probably know this will place the text at the end of the file. What I'd like to know is how can I choose where in an existing file I want to place the text or is this beyond the scope of HERE documents?

Code:

---

cat >> slapd.conf << "EOF"
access to attrs=userPassword
        by self write
        by anonymous auth
        by dn.base="cn=root,dc=abclott,dc=lott" write
        by group.base="cn=infrastructure,ou=GTECH,ou=groups,dc=abclott,dc=lott" write
        by dn.base="uid=ldapmgr,ou=people,dc=abclott,dc=lott" write
        by * none

access to dn.children="ou=people,dc=abclott,dc=lott"
        by dn.base="cn=root,dc=abclott,dc=lott" write
        by dn.base="cn=bind,dc=abclott,dc=lott" read
        by users read
        by * none

access to dn.children="ou=groups,dc=abclott,dc=lott"
        by dn.base="cn=root,dc=abclott,dc=lott" write
        by dn.base="cn=bind,dc=abclott,dc=lott" read
        by users read
        by * none

        by dn.base="cn=bind,dc=abclott,dc=lott" read
        by users read
        by * none

access to dn.subtree="ou=SUDOers,dc=abclott,dc=lott"
        by dn.base="cn=root,dc=abclott,dc=lott" write
        by dn.base="cn=bind,dc=abclott,dc=lott" read
        by users read
        by * none

access to *
        by dn.base="cn=root,dc=abclott,dc=lott" write
        by dn.base="cn=bind,dc=abclott,dc=lott" search
        by * none

I don't know really, but since noone has answered I'll give it a shot.
How about using 'sed', you'll have to find a way to get lots of lines in the expresion - or rather put the result of a command in it.
sed syntax is
# sed s/[pattern-to-match]/[pettern-to-replace]/ filename

As I said, I don't know if it can do what you want but still can't find a reason for why not?
