Looking at the discussions regarding clustering and/or failover, it looks
like there's no way to have more than one master server that accepts
updates (all others are slaves). Is that correct?
Yup, that would be the current state of things. Of course, I've
honestly not found this to really be a problem because of the immense
stability I've enjoyed since dumping NDS and moving to OpenLDAP. The
requirement for multi-master generally comes when there is an underlying
stability somewhere in the process. There is of course the corporate 5
9's thing that sometimes requires it as well, on the off chance that
something did happen to the master.
