Ok, thanks very much for the clarification.

Excellent.

The cause for my question was that I seem to be able to get a total of 1
syncrepl consumer to work;  with 2 or more replication seems to stop,
although they do sync-up when started.  Killing slapd and restarting
consistently causes a resync, but then no further sync occurs.  If I
just start ONE consumer than it seems to work.

Example......

Two consumers (localhost & throw) and master (littleboy), one consumer
out of sync....

[root@turnstone root]# ldapsearch -x -LLL -h localhost uid=adam
morrisoninternalrate; ldapsearch -LLL -x -h throw uid=adam
morrisoninternalrate;ldapsearch -LLL -x -h littleboy  uid=adam
morrisoninternalrate
dn: cn=Adam Williams,ou=People,o=Morrison Industries,c=US
morrisoninternalrate: 50
 
dn: cn=Adam Williams,ou=People,o=Morrison Industries,c=US
morrisoninternalrate: 75
 
dn: cn=Adam Williams,ou=People,o=Morrison Industries,c=US
morrisoninternalrate: 50

Two consumers (localhost & throw) and master (littleboy), after throw is
restarted it comes into sync.....
 
[root@turnstone root]# ldapsearch -x -LLL -h localhost uid=adam
morrisoninternalrate; ldapsearch -LLL -x -h throw uid=adam
morrisoninternalrate;ldapsearch -LLL -x -h littleboy  uid=adam
morrisoninternalrate

dn: cn=Adam Williams,ou=People,o=Morrison Industries,c=US
morrisoninternalrate: 50
 
dn: cn=Adam Williams,ou=People,o=Morrison Industries,c=US
morrisoninternalrate: 50

Two consumers (localhost & throw) and master (littleboy), change made on
master is not seen by consumers....

[root@turnstone root]# ldapsearch -x -LLL -h localhost uid=adam
morrisoninternalrate; ldapsearch -LLL -x -h throw uid=adam
morrisoninternalrate;ldapsearch -LLL -x -h littleboy  uid=adam

slapds restarted, they come into sync......
