Re: N-Way MultiMaster with 2.4

["Chris G. Sellers" <Chris.Sellers@nitle.org>]

I do have it working, but it appears that my data replication  
information keeps getting lost

When I connect to the cn=config database, I see a bdb{1} and bdb{2}  
cn.  the first (or second sometimes) is the slapd.conf information,  
and the other is the database records.

I'm thinking there is a conflict because after a restart for example,  
I end up with only one and my sync replication information for the  
regular data (not cn=config) disappears and I can't sync any longer.

should I be using a unique number for bdb{} in my ldif.  Here is my  
ldif file I'm using
