OK. This is getting more perplexing. If I have both servers running I can however go to my slave and run ldapadd. I have no idea whats going on at this point.

Yes. I'm on my Master server. What's interesting though is that if I go to my slave server and stop ldap I can then write to my master. Is there someway that I could be talking to my slave when I run ldapadd from my master?
