Thanks Ulrich, but Won't MMR behind a loadbalancer  cause data inconsistentcy if  I allow writes to both nodes. As per openldap documentation, mirror mode is not a multi provider solution , as writes go to just one of the mirror at a time in a 2 node setup. 

I am confused which one shall I use,  N node mirror mode setup behind a load balancer as suggested by Quanah (write to one provider and read with other mirror pool members) or N nodes with multi provider setup spreading writes to both nodes.

Chandan

I wonder: If you have a 2-node MMR setup fed through a loadbalancer for writing, it there really a performance benefit over sending all updates to one node that replicates the changes to the other?
