This {{single-master/multiple-slave}}
replication scheme is vital in high-volume environments where a
single {{slapd}} just doesn't provide the necessary availability
or reliability. {{slapd}} also includes experimental support for
{{multi-master}} replication.
{{multi-master}} replication (for use where strong ACID properties
are not required). {{slapd}} supports two replication methods:
{{slurpd}}(8)-based and {{LDAP Sync}}-based replicaton.
{{B:Proxy Cache}}: {{slapd}} can be configured as a LDAP proxy
service.
{{B:Configuration}}: {{slapd}} is highly configurable through a
single configuration file which allows you to change just about
everything you'd ever want to change. Configuration options have
reasonable defaults, making your job much easier.
{{slapd}} also has its limitations, of course. The main BDB
backend does not handle range queries or negation queries
very well.

It is responsible for distributing changes

master {{slapd}} database out to the various {{slapd}}
replicas.
It frees {{slapd}} from having to worry that some replicas
might
be down or unreachable when a change comes through; {{slurpd}}
handles retrying failed requests automatically. {{slapd}} and
{{slurpd}} communicate through a simple text file that is used to
log changes.
See the {{SECT:Replication with slurpd}} chapter for information
about how to configure and run {{slurpd}}(8).
Alternatively, {{LDAP-Sync}}-based replication may be used to provide
a replicated service. See the {{SECT:LDAP Sync Replication}} chapter
for details.
