Is it possible to have a server with multiple cn=config templates (for other servers) in a non cn=config context and then "translate" them into cn=config on the consumer side using a bootstrap config and olcsyncrepl?

Yes, but it's a bit tricky and didn't work in earlier releases. It involves using back-relay on the provider to remap the incoming searchbase to the alternate locations.

I have the provider side working now with:

### database ldif directory ldap-rndng/config.d suffix cn=template

overlay rwm rwm-rewriteEngine on rwm-rewriteContext searchEntryDN rwm-rewriteRule "(.+)?,cn=template$" "$1" ":" ###

Putting the specific cn=config dit under cn=template and making a sub search with base cn=config,cn=template now gives the correct result, BUT how do i make the same "rewriting" for the searchbase on the consumer side?

It fails with:

olcSyncrepl: value #0: Base DN "cn=config,cn=template" is not within the database naming context. failed to add syncinfo config error processing olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config: Base DN "cn=config,cn=template" is not within the database naming context
