Mmm, that's really clunky. Someone should file an OpenLDAP enhancement request on the memberof config syntax. You should only need to instantiate the overlay once, and then it should just take a list of oc/forward-ad/back-ad config options.
Look closely at how we sub in memberof configuration into the slapd.conf. I suggest that you could add a ${REPL_CONFIG} after each database, which the script could sub with either "" or by reading and subing in a slapd-replica.conf
It's not the syntax that's clunky. You're (ab)using slapo-memberof(5), which was designed to deal with *just one* pair of member/reverse-link attribute relationship. Probably the overlay needs to be entirely reworked to provide a many-to-many relationship. At this point, I'd rather design a new one, giving up some of the not so useful extra features implemented in slapo-memberof(5), and focusing on the many-to-many main requirement.
