Mixing multi-master and master-slave replication

[Robert Minsk <robert.minsk@methodstudios.com>]

As a factility we have locations world wide.  Within each facility we would like to use multi-master replication.  We would also like to sync each facility to a glued set of databases on the global servers with simple master slave replication.  See ASCII art diagram below.  If every OpenLDAP server across all our locations has a unique "serverID" will the global master-slave replication play nice with the facility multi-master replication?
