The docs on the main site are out of date, I did them wrong the first
time. The latest version isn't up yet for MirrorMode, but will be when
2.4.7 is out this week.

Each config has to be the same, including rid, except you now need:

serverID: 1

on one node and:

serverID: 2

on the other. Apart from that, both configs are the same (obviously
changing where they point too ;-) ).

Search "man slapd.conf" for serverID
