I want to make this more available, I have a DR site and I would like to have an LDAP server running getting all the updates from the primary site. This DR LDAP will be active in case the primary site is down and will accept read/write operations.
In my company, DR means a disaster has struck, e.g. a building has been destroyed. So, you typically don't: 1)Do a DR failover for any trivial reason 2)Do a DR failover automatically
So, just run a normal replica in the DR, and have a config file ready to be able to "promote" it to a master. If you need slaves there too, just have them replicate of the "DR master", so you have less config changes to do in the case of a real disaster.
