syncrepl connection / reconnect

Hi,

I am using two slapd 2.4.20 in mirror mode. Everything seem to work fine. When I shut down slapd_A, I can see the connection retries in the log of B. After restarting A everything is fine. Replication works in both directions.

When I switch off the machine hosting A, B does not log anything. After starting machine A, replication only works from B to A and not from A to B. Only after restarting slapd_B the connection is reestablished and the changes are synced. I see the same behavior, if I just do a "ifconfig eth0 down". The remaining slapd seems not to recognize a loss of the network connection. Is this a bug in openldap, or a configuration issue on my side?

Thanks, Thorsten
