Fedora directory users - Jul 2007 - Replicating the configuration database

I have setup a multi-master environment with only one NetscapeRoot
configuration database for all slaves and masters.  Is it recommended to
have only one NetscapeRoot or should that be replicated to the other
master servers.

If the recommendation is to replicate the NetscapeRoot, I am a little
unclear on the steps to take to copy database to the other master so
that I can setup replication.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

If you require failover capability for the configuration data, then you 
should set up replication for it.

It''s the same as setting up replication for
userRoot.

Thanks for the quick response.

The reason for my confusion regarding setting up replication for the
NetscapeRoot, is that there is only one copy of the NetscapeRoot.  When
I use the administration console, in the configuration tab, selecting
Data or Replication on the second master server, I only see the database
for the userRoot not NetscapeRoot.  So what I am unclear on is how to
setup replication when I don''t have a NetscapeRoot database on the
second master server to replicate to.

Thanks

Ok.  In the Configuration tab, on the data node, select New Root Suffix, 
and create a suffix o=NetscapeRoot with a database named
NetscapeRoot.
