Yeah, it's an impossible condition so it's not handled the best...

I'm sure that the most correct answer would be to slapcat the master and 
slapadd -q the replica. Since you should have multiple replicas, this 
shouldn't be all that high-impact.

With that said, the Net::LDAP CPAN module comes with some interesting 
contrib scripts such as "ldifdiff"; I'll confess to using that once or 
twice in similar situations (take a master and a replica slapcat). This 
won't be practical if you have high data churn, but many LDAP 
installations are read-mostly, so...
