Did you read the above link? It doesn't look like you did.

Again, please read the docs:

http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html#MirrorMode

It specifically says:

"17.4.4.1. Mirror Node Configuration

This is the same as the Set up the provider slapd section."

where it links to the section that show the syncprov overlay config.

Please read the docs.
