All replication on openLDAP are based on syncreplication (slurpd is

So what kind of replication means the manual page (-> "Replica servers")?

It means that you run it in a replicated environment at your own risk. Unfortunately, there is no defined standard for the "memberOf" functionality (it's a MS hack) and so there's nothing that details how it should or shouldn't behave with replication. In general, things work fine as long as:

a) The server(s) never go into REFRESH

and

b) You never bring up a new replica with an empty database (which then does a full REFRESH)
