AFAIK openldap can't do "true" write anywhere. the configuration is
one "true" master on which writes are happening, the remaining N-1
masters just issue the referrals to the "true" master which can
optionally be server side followed with slapo-chain making writes on
the N-1 "non-true" masters transparent to the clients.
