Re: socket instead of replog file

["Kurt D. Zeilenga" <Kurt@OpenLDAP.org>]

One could say that 2.2 already does that (immediate
transfer of information) via syncrepl's "syncAndPersist"
mode.

If you want this with slurpd, then (as Roland suggests) use 
of a file modification notification mechanism would likely
be a better approach.

But in regards to use of sockets instead of files between
slapd and slurpd, you'd have to come up with some reasonable
way to deal with faults in the system.
