RE: replication - dns round robin - benefits - updatedn?
Also what about this, any ideas?:
Another simple problem (i hope) I am having is simply getting my slave to refer
a query to the master. I "heard" a rumor that the updatedn HAS to be different
than the rootdn. Is this true? If so, how does one recommend that I setup
another user for updatedn?
Thank you for the answer on my first question, it makes complete sense.
