With slurpd, failures can occur, and depending on the reason for the failure, 
replication will not fix itself. You should either monitor the reject files 
and the status files sluprd generates, or switch to syncrepl (which will allow 
you to monitor replication status, and in many failure scenarios replication 
will catch up).
