LDAP Sync or Slurpd?

["Brian K. Jones" <jonesy@CS.Princeton.EDU>]

Hi all, 

I've read the Admin guide for OpenLDAP 2.2.x, and I've just downloaded 2.2.11 
(I'm moving to this from the latest 2.1.x release -- 22 maybe?). 

Anyway, I haven't really had many problems with slurpd in terms of speed or 
reliability, so I'm wondering what syncrepl really gives me that slurpd 
doesn't. Was this designed to be more secure? More stable/reliable? All of 
the above? 

Is this a precursor (or, um, prerequisite) to doing multimaster replication 
with OpenLDAP? 

Is slurpd going to be phased out at some point in favor of this new method?
Thanks,
brian.
