Nick,

I've done this a number of times - Dev on an 'in production' ldap infrastructure. I've managed to get the boxes out of sync a number of times.

1. Stop slapd.
2. Delete the contents of the db dir
3. Copy a db-config into it.
4. Startup slapd.

The full tree is replicated pretty quickly. Try it out, you'll see. It take less then half a minute to replicate a tree with approx 800 entries (very rough estimate) even on slaves in AZ and masters in WA.

I'm sure it does work fine for such a tiny database. Get a large database (20 million, 200 million etc), it's not worth the time to do it that way.
