Complex multi-master topology



I've been trying to create a complex multi-master replication of
cn=config for a week now...  I'm using the core debian package: slapd
2.4.40+dfsg-1+deb8u1


I've seen someone claiming it could work but cannot find configs related
to this kind of topology.

(slide #24)


When building a simple multimaster (two or three nodes) everything works
as planned.  But in the case some nodes cannot talk to others, i cannot
find a way to make it works.


Let's take this example

+-------+       +-------+       +-------+
| ldap1 | <---> | ldap2 | <---> | ldap3 |
+-------+       +-------+       +-------+

and say:
olcSyncRepl: rid=001
             searchbase="cn=config"
             type=refreshAndPersist
             provider=ldap://ldap1
olcSyncRepl: rid=002
             searchbase="cn=config"
             type=refreshAndPersist
             provider=ldap://ldap2
olcSyncRepl: rid=003
             searchbase="cn=config"
             type=refreshAndPersist
             provider=ldap://ldap3

Where initialy:
   ldap1 have rid=002
   ldap2 have rid=001 and rid=003
   ldap3 have rid=002


Soon everyone get rid=001 rid=002 rid=003 and ldap3 cannot talk to ldap1
and it does not work...

And even if i don't care about the connexion between ldap1 and ldap3
failing, the replication does not work either... if ldap1 change
something, it gets replicated to ldap2 but not ldap3.


Also, i've been trying to use exattrs=Syncrepl but if someone change his
Syncrepl, it get deleted on the other node...  Someone seems to have
seen this with memberof overlay ?

Anyone have references to help me get to my goal?
