If one thinks about it, it is obvious that each participating peer has
to be informed about its sid, as other peers are not participating
prior to the initial setup, its only one sid.
After starting all peers, they have to be informed about all
particiating sids, that is prior to adding any data the sids have to
be anounced. So my initial configuration was as you described above.
After the initial setup I added all sids with a small shell script,
copied from test050,
$LDAPMODIFY -x -D cn=config -H $HOST -w $CPW <<EOF
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcServerID
olcServerID: 1 $URL1
olcServerID: 2 $URL2
EOF
Now the contextCSN looks like
contextCSN: 20081022192158.873555Z#000000#001#000000
contextCSN: 20081022184543.202017Z#000000#002#000000
note the different sids 001, 002. ContextCSN, that is time + sid,
indicate which peer modified the database last.
