The other alternative, which is much simpler to implement, is just to
add a suffixmassage/rewrite keyword to the syncrepl config, allowing it
to pull from a particular remote base and map it to the local base.
Then
it's up to the sysadmin to create a complete cn=config hierarchy
somewhere else on the master server and let the slaves pick it up. That
would address all of the issues of differentiation, at the cost of a
little bit of redundancy on the master.

I'm not too fond of the proposed olcServerMatch, it appears to me to
create a cluttered config database that requires you to match these
attribute values to see the currently active configuration.  Should it
be added though, then I would prefer it to be defined as range(s) of
serverIDs rather than a pattern to match.  Regexp matching of integer
ranges is always awkward..

Yes, I agree, it would make things cluttered and the complexity could
easily
get out of hand. In retrospect I'm not so fond of the idea.

Wouldn't it be possible to simply extend the attribute name to make it
match a server?
Eg:
olcAccess;server1: ...
olcAccess;server2: ...

That would be IMHO more clear than any related regexp-attribute.

Yes, but it's clumsy, particularly if you want one value to apply to multiple servers.
