As there is no standard track LDAP replication technology (yet),
the answer is 'yes'.   It requires ChangeLog which Netscape
developed and is working with the community to standardize.

I note that the client also looked for Netscape specific
attributes in the Root DSE (in particular, nsAddressBookSyncURL).
Hence, I am not sure that even if the server supported ChangeLog
(which OpenLDAP doesn't) whether the client's address book
sync capability would work or not.
