I think you likely should read some of the posts on the
OpenLDAP-software mailing list regarding the differences
between single master replication and multiple-master
replication.  You'll note that OpenLDAP is designed to
support single master replication (though there is some
experimental multiple master code lurking about).  When
writing a client, one should normally design for
single-master replication as multiple-master adds no new
requirements upon the design.

I note that how to write clients using OpenLDAP C API is
a software use issue and should be taken to the software
mailing list.  This list is for discussing the development
of OpenLDAP itself.
