Multimaster
An experimental option called "multimaster" allows multiple servers to
operate as masters, both processing updates and updating each other.
To use multimaster -
#define SLAPD_MULTIMASTER 1 in portable.h
after doing ./configure and before compiling.
This changes how a server handles incoming replications. A multimaster
server will not write out changes to its replication log if the connection
performing the modification was the configured updatedn, thus avoiding
an infinite loop.
This option breaks the ability to daisy-chain replication, but is stable if
this type of replication is configured so that masters do not get updated by
more than one other master.
