I'm never sure what you mean when you say the replica's should slave
from both masters. A replica can only take updates from *one* master
for a given tree. Your best option in your case is to set up MMR
where only one master is taking writes (mirror mode), and have the
replica use a load balanced name between the two masters as its
"master" for updates. That should keep data consistent.
So you mean that all the slaves should slave through the load
balancer, as well as writes go through the load balancer?
I was going to set up the masters so that writes would go through the
load balancer, but slaves read from both masters like the multi-master
example shown at
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html#N-Way%20Multi-Master
Thanks for that.
USE OF DELTA-SYNCREPL FROM MIRROR-MODE MASTER TO CONSUMERS
==========================================================
I have another question relating to section "18.3.4.1.2. Normal
Consumer Configuration" where there is this text:
This is exactly the same as the Set up the consumer slapd
section. It can either setup in normal syncrepl replication mode,
or in delta-syncrepl replication mode.
So while I cannot use delta-syncrepl *between* the two mirror-mode
masters, I *can* use delta-syncrepl on our eight consumers slaving
*from* the current active master through the load balancer? Is that
correct?
The eight consumers are what our clients read from.
