This is an enhancement request:
When having a distributed LDAP structure with a master and several SyncRepl clients, the clients can do the SyncRepl only on fixed refresh intervals (e.g. type=refreshOnly, interval=00:00:20:00)
However, there are many situations where this is inappropriate, e.g. on dial-on connections, roaming notebooks, and things like that.
Therefore, slapd should have a client mode where the SyncRepl process is performed only on request, but then immediately. There should be an external trigger to pull, e.g. send a signal oder do a special LDAP request. slapd should then start a SyncRepl.
E.g. this could be put in scripts run at connect-time (pppd provides that kind of scripting), or when notebook autoconfiguration detects (e.g. with tools like guessnet) that it is connected to the home network to update it's local slapd.
