Hi Daniel,

Please keep replies to the ITS list.  I'm glad you figured out what was 
done incorrectly, this ITS will be closed.

I will note that in slapd.conf(5) man page, the "replica" statement is 
listed under "GENERAL DATABASE OPTIONS", indicating that it is a database 
specific directive (as opposed to "GLOBAL CONFIGURATION OPTIONS").  So I 
think the documentation is correct.

Regards,
Quanah
