n-way multi master and mirror mode

[Brendan Kearney <bpk678@gmail.com>]

i have a n-way multi master replicated directory, and i currently have 
mirror mode turned on.  i am getting events in my logs about deferring 
operations (too many executing, etc) and want to know if i am causing 
these with mirror mode.  the reading i am able to do on the topic seems 
to indicate that mirror mode is only necessary in provider/consumer 
replication, but i wanted to clarify that.  is mirror mode necessary for 
n-way multi master replication?  am i safe to turn it off, if it not needed?

thanks in advance,

brendan
