Looking at the discussions regarding clustering and/or failover, it looks
like there's no way to have more than one master server that accepts
updates (all others are slaves). Is that correct?
Yup, that would be the current state of things. Of course, I've honestly
not found this to really be a problem because of the immense stability I've
enjoyed since dumping NDS and moving to OpenLDAP. The requirement for
multi-master generally comes when there is an underlying stability
somewhere in the process. There is of course the corporate 5 9's thing
that sometimes requires it as well, on the off chance that something did
happen to the master.
