I am testing the new mirromode feature in 2.4.4alpha and have run into some unexpected behavior:

1) If mirrormode is on in the config when slapd starts it fails to synchronize with the producer, this is unexpected behavior

syncrepl rid=545 provider=ldap://ns3 type=refreshAndPersist searchbase="dc=chappy,dc=com" schemachecking=off bindmethod=simple binddn="cn=admin,dc=chappy,dc=com" credentials=secret

mirrormode on

2) If mirrormode is off in the config when the consumer slapd starts the consumer slapd synchronizes with the producer, if mirrormode is then turned on dynamically, synchronization continues and the consumer is writable by anyone, this is expected behavior

3) After mirror mode is set dynamically, if the consumer slapd is restarted, then the consumer will no longer sync with the producer, this is unexpected behavior

Are these bugs or by design?

thanks, Jesse
