Checkpointing and syncrepl

["John Kane" <john.kane@prodeasystems.com>]

I am a bit confused with the difference between the slapd.bdb
'checkpoint' option and the syncprov overlay option
'syncprov-checkpoint'.  On the provider, will these basically do the
same thing?  If so, is there an advantage to using one over the other?

Also, should we do checkpointing on the consumers as well?

Thanks,
John
