To be frank, i did not think this because there is some serious problem
in the existing replication mechanism. But the below might be considered
for your question.

Definitely this can't be a default replication method for
openldap, but
I am thinking what if I make another directory server to sync to openldap.
The best
way is probably for this different server to implement RFC
4533. This is what we did at Apache Directory Server allowing us to sync
with an OpenLDAP server. It works, it's not *that* complicated. Here is
an exemple on how to leverage a Java API implementing this RFC :
