RE: replication - dns round robin - benefits - updatedn?



Also what about this, any ideas?:
Another simple problem (i hope) I am having is simply getting my slave to refer 
a query to the master.  I "heard" a rumor that the updatedn HAS to be different 
than the rootdn.  Is this true?  If so, how does one recommend that I setup 
another user for updatedn? 

Thank you for the answer on my first question, it makes complete sense.
