Hi Martin,

As documented, memberOf is not compatible with syncrepl based replication. 
Additionally, based on what I've read of the autogroup overlay, I would say 
the following:

autogroup is not usable in an MMR environment.

autogroup is probably only usable in a replicated environment where there 
is a single provider and it is only configured on the provider (i.e., not 
configured on the consumers at all) and without memberOf.  I'm not sure how 
it behaves with delta-syncrepl (i.e., what operations it logs in the change 
database).  It may or may not be compatible for that configuration.

Hope that helps!

Regards,
Quanah
