Do the slapcat on ldap2 and then delete the db files on ldap1 and then run
the slapadd. you will not get duplicates because all of the CSN's will be

versions and doing my own builds. Works great that way.

So by "delete the db files" you mean deleting the contents of the slapd home-dir (usually /var/lib/ldap)?

Here's what I read out of your answer:

(ldap2) slapcat -bcn=config -l config.ldiff

(ldap2) slapcat -l actual-data.ldiff

(ldap1) rm -rf /var/lib/ldap/*

(ldap1) /etc/init.d/slapd start

(ldap1) slapadd -bcn=config -l config.ldiff

(ldap1) slapcat -l actual-data.ldiff

Like this? Any traps or common problems I should be aware of?

Huh?

The CSNs contain the server IDs. Servers ignore their own changes.

You're saying I shouldn't delete the files before doing the cat/add business, right? If I'd do it like this, wouldn't stuff that got deleted on ldap2 (while ldap1 was down) still end up being on ldap1?
