However... It's only the initial replication which works. If I start 
server-2 empty, it will catch up with server-1, but I then stop 
server-2, make a modification on server-1 and restart server-2 the 
change will not propagate to server-2, - but the contextCSN will.

Please tell me I'm doing something wrong. This problem is starting to 
make me dizzy.
