All, If I set up a BDC with a replicated ldap server, can I point the "ldap backend" and "idmap backend" options *both* to the localhost and enable a referral on the slave so that writes (ie Idmap updates) will be referred to the master server? I'm running debian unstable with openldap 2.4 (and libs) and Samba 3.0.30. I know I should use the new idmap interface but this is on a production network; I will test the new interface on a sanboxed LAN.
