Hi,

This is possible. If your config is mirrored, you must have two syncrepl
statements - one pointing at each server.

slapd will detect that one of these statements is pointing to itself, so
long as the URI in your syncrepl matches the URI you launch slapd with
(in the -h parameter).

So for example, in your cn=config
olcSyncrepl: rid=NNN provider=ldap://master1:389/ ...
olcSyncrepl: rid=NNM provider=ldap://master2:389/ ...

And launch your master1 with:
slapd -h "ldap://master1:389/"; ...
etc.
