It is my understanding that replication does not rely on the repsTo
attribute, there is deeper underlying code that carries this out, but
if repsTo is set, then the DC will always replicate everything to the
DC (which will be a local DC in its 'site')  in that attribute before
all others.

Or I could just say it is magic ;-)

it turns out that the main thing that is needed for replication is the
created connections? And everything else is already samba magic? I just
tried the same trick on the windows side and it seems like after some time
this attribute was still filled in, but I may be wrong, it turns out that
this is the norm for samba and should not interfere with full functioning?
