sorry,  it's how I prefer my email.  I realize it isn't best for  
mailing list archives.

doesn't that just say that openldap can't properly handle failover,  
then?  if you're relying on mysql to handle the failover?
I feel like this is way overcomplicating my LDAP setup.  I'm dealing  
with fewer than 200,000 objects in my LDAP tree, I feel like it should  
be a simple thing to provide an adequate failover setup with multiple  
servers, all accepting writes, and not relying on one single server to  
be up for writes.

I'd even be happy with two servers mirroring and other servers slaving  
off of them via sync-repl.

I rely on the experts because I don't understand the internals of  
OpenLDAP.  would you really not suggest using MMR?
if not, why is it an option in the stable release of the code?
