Thanks, this is very helpful.

2.4.18 seems to work as long as I run the memberof overlay on both nodes. 
The stacking order of the overlays (memberof, syncprov) doesn't make a 
difference as far as I can tell. Does that make sense?

The entryCSNs tend not to match between nodes. For example, if I add 
testuser5 to a group on node 2, I might get:

node 1: entryCSN: 20091008032142.915412Z#000000#002#000000
node 2: entryCSN: 20091008032402.932100Z#000000#002#000000

Sometimes even the server IDs in the CSNs don't match:

node 1: entryCSN: 20091008031908.047245Z#000000#001#000000
node 2: entryCSN: 20091008032301.666362Z#000000#002#000000

But the other attributes always seems to match. I'm just a bit uneasy 
about the entryCSNs; I assume they're supposed to be the same across all 
nodes, right?

Thanks,
Mike
