Hello I wanted to start a "replicant/backup" server at our site. Actually we only have one openldap server that serve our LAN and I want to start a slave server in case of master's crash. I've read documentaion here http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html But I need some help to choose the best config for our site ( a backup server , that's all ) Thank you

Hi Is there any reason to setup just a mirror and not setup a multimaster 2 nodes. If both boxes are always up and in sync why not allow multimaster - then if there is a problem there wouldn't be any thing to do to fail over . by if there is a problem I mean the machine breaking or becoming unavailable....
