What sort of issues?

Or syncrepl has 10x the users, more eyes spot more bugs, and is now more stable because it has had more fixes?
I'm just speculating here, but I wouldn't be more confident in product Y because it is mentioned less in the change
log than product X.
However, this is a tangent, and still does not help me with my original question. Correct me if I'm wrong, but
delta-syncrepl is also going to be running in a serial fashion on the master server, and so, if I'm replicating
out to hundreds of replicas, high network latency or timeouts on a single replica would still have a big impact
on my ability to replicate everywhere within 5 minutes.
Syncrepl/delta-syncrepl doesn't make a difference here. Unless someone has a better suggestion, as I don't
suppose OpenLDAP is going to be fixed to do this in parallel anytime soon, I will go ahead and launch multiple
replica processes on the master server as I proposed at the beginning of the thread, and then balance the
load across these processes to reduce the impact of any one replica going slow.
(Or investigate other directory server products that can replicate in parallel ...)
Mark.
