Yes, it works just fine for me.

Maybe you should download Zimbra, and install the zimbra-ldap package on 
two different systems, one a master, one a replica, and examine the 
resulting configurations.  If you want to see how it is done via slapd.conf 
and OpenLDAP 2.3, download Zimbra 5.0.x.  If you want to see how it is done 
with cn=config and OpenLDAP 2.4, download Zimbra 6.0.x.
