explain diff between multimaster and mirror mode



Since English is not my mother tong, can someone explain me what is ment in
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html#Mixture%20of%20both%20Pull%20and%20Push%20based
by saying "MirrorMode is not what is termed as a Multi-Master solution. This is because writes have to go to one of the mirror nodes at a time"?
Is it that I have always write to the same master? Can I do writes some times to one sometimes to another, but not to both at the same time?
Which way Multi-Mater or Mirror-Mode is easier to recover from broken replication. On Master-Slave I just delete Slave db and restart ldap, this is acceptible for me because there is no much data to replicate.

I'm using Master-Slave replication now, but it seems that it is not good for some reason, which I don't know and can't explain. So trying to find an alternative, but don't want to learn on my own mistakes on production :)
