multimaster configuration of openldap-2.0.25



Hello All,

I'm trying to compile OpenLDAP-2.0.25 with multimaster support. I have two
servers which i want to act as masters,
updating each other, whoever gets and update request (mirror)
Right now, i've compiled OpenLDAP-2.0.25 by runnning configure like this:

./configure --enable-slapd --enable-slurpd --enable-multimaster
--enable-crypt --enable-debug --prefix=/usr/freeware

The trouble is that the openldap (master)servers never stop updating each
other.

I have not used a replicator dn. Is this necessary? Is it wrong to update
with the rootdn?

There is SLAPD_MULTIMASTER definitions in the code, do i have to define it
manually or is this taken care of by --enable-multimaster?

I have not used updateref or referral. Are they necessary in this setup?

What am I missing, and what is necessary to add/modify to make this setup
work?

My slapd.conf config files look like the following:
