replica catchup to master

[Quanah Gibson-Mount <quanah@stanford.edu>]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has some input on how you would get a new replica 
to catch up to the master.  Basically, assume that you are adding a new 
replica to the pool.  Due to the large volume of changes you incur, you 
can't stop slurpd on the master and then do a slapcat, install the DB on 
the replica, and then turn slurpd back on.  In Netscape directory server, 
it keeps track what changes a replica has received by a change number, so 
if you load a new replica with an older DB, it catches it up.  I don't see 
the functionality for this in OpenLDAP.  Therefore, assuming I load a new 
replica with an older DB, after adding it in as a replica in the slapd.conf 
file on the master, how do I get the master to replay changes to the 
replica?
