Hi,

I have configured replica of our master ldap server "ldap.mycompany.com http://ldap.mycompany.com" using slurpd. ,replica is ldap2.mycompany.com http://ldap2.mycompany.com. Everything is working fine, I checked it by changing some value 'password' at master and it got replicated to replica.

Now I am wondering how to make this setup of master/slave 'hot standby" so that if master got down slave takes over, and the ldap client applications which using " ldap.ourcompany.com http://ldap.ourcompany.com" never complain for unavailability of authentication backend.

All our ldap clients appication (wiki, ldapphpamdin, our corporate portal etc) using ldap.ourcompany.com http://ldap.ourcompany.com which point to IP of master in our DNS.

ie DNS records..

ldap.ourcompany.com http://ldap.ourcompany.com -----> IP of master ldap server ldap2.ourcompany.com http://ldap2.ourcompany.com ----> IP of replica ldap server

Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Thanks. Askar
