Hi,

I have a basic question in N-Way Multi master replication configuration, For example i have 3 servers and i wanted to setup N-Way replication across those servers, in the "olcSyncRepl" configuration do i have to include the Nth server it self?

On each server:

 olcSyncRepl: rid=001 provider=$URI1

 olcSyncRepl: rid=002 provider=$URI2 
 olcSyncRepl: rid=003 provider=$URI3 

 VS
Server1:
 olcSyncRepl: rid=002 provider=$URI2 
 olcSyncRepl: rid=003 provider=$URI3 

Server2:
 olcSyncRepl: rid=001 provider=$URI1
 olcSyncRepl: rid=003 provider=$URI3 

Server3:
 olcSyncRepl: rid=001 provider=$URI1
 olcSyncRepl: rid=002 provider=$URI2 

Which one is the right way to do?

Also what is the significance of "olcServerID"  do we have keep every server "olcServerID" in each server?

Thanks,
Ram
