Re: Multiple Backends and SyncRepl

[Howard Chu <hyc@symas.com>]

The rid's should be unique across a server. The only time where this may 
be a problem is when you specify a sync cookie on the slapd command line 
(see slapd(8) -c option) as the cookies are identified by their rid; if 
you try to override a context's CSN "rid=001,csn=xxx" then that override 
will occur for all of the contexts with the matching rid.
