What you should do is use delta-syncrepl based MMR with OpenLDAP 2.4.36.
Delta-syncrepl based MMR only replicates the exact changes that occurred,
rather than the entries, vastly reducing the amount of data being
transferred between nodes. I would also recommend switching to back-mdb
with OpenLDAP 2.4.36, as it handles writes at *least* 50 times faster than
back-hdb/back-bdb.
I've already told you *multiple* times that there are known bugs with the
MMR code in 2.4.31, and you will end up having data issues, yet you
continue to ignore this. Why, is beyond me. Stop wasting your time and
everyone else's by insisting to run out of date code with known bugs.

If I could get 2.4.35 or 2.4.36 to build a debian package as required by
our company I would use a newer version. Every time I run the build it
errors out in the config. So I have tried. I can't do just a build I have
to be able to create the package for our puppet implementation.
Is there an update 2.4 admin doc out there that shows how to do this in a
dynamic setup instead of the slapd.conf. Our MMR is working great with the
exception of one app that rebuilds groups and keeps them up to date. this
application going against a single 2.4.21 version finished in an hour and
after 8 hours it is not completing. Other than the replication, everything
is pretty much the same as far as cacheing and other DB tuning settings.
Sorry that I am wasting your time.
