Just because the protocol was defined a particular way (consumer initiated single master replication) doesn't mean it can't be used in other ways. OpenLDAP is far more flexible than that. We've enhanced the basic syncrepl functionality a number of different ways (delta-syncrepl, proxied syncrepl, mirrormode, and multimaster) all without altering any of the syncrepl protocol definition. All it takes is a little creativity to assemble the pieces in the proper order.

And what are the reasons for not using slurpd? It has less functionnalities, but can it be considered reliable? Should I change my working setup for syncrepl, or can I live with slurpd?
