MirrorMode behind fail over loadbalancer



We have two openldap 2.4.7 , configured as MirrorMode, We are planning
to add load balancer in front of both servers into the production
environment, We don't want too go through conflicts issues as it was
stated before as messy process.


---------	---------
.	.	.	.	
.  Srv1	.	.  Srv2	.
---------	---------		
   \                 /
    ---- ------------
       . LoadB   .
	.-------.

As per my understanding, the load balancer(failover mode) is
redirecting all traffic to the active server(srv1); if the active
server went down the traffic will be redirected to stand-by
server(srv2). When srv1 goes online again the load balancer will
redirect all trafic to srv1, while srv1 is in progress to get synced
with srv2. The load balancer will not consider the sync process; it
will just redirect the traffic.

it was previously stated on the mailing list that there should be one
write at a time. is there any conflict will occur when server getting
bulk syncing and receiving updates(attribute level)/add requests as
well?

What happen if there attribute-level conflict? how to avoid it?
suggestions are highly welcomed.
