RE: Constraint violation in Replication setup.

["Reinhard Nappert" <rnappert@juniper.net>]

You are right and my wording was misunderstanding. However, you still
should see traffic from the master to the slave, which is not happening.
I also don't see any traffic from the client to the master. All that
said, it seems that the referral part does not work.  

Does anyone see the reason, why it does not work.

Thanks

Reinhard,

I think you misunderstand referrals.  They work this way:

Client tries to make a modification to the slave.
Slave rejects the modification and returns the referral for the master
to the client.
The client then makes a new connection to the master, and updates the
master.

So you should never see traffic from the slave to the master in this
scenario.
