Hi William,

Referring to the entries by nsuniqueid is one fundamental point of the
replication protocol. dn are not reliable enough to identify an entry
(remember that entries may be renamed and that replication protocol is
asynchronous. nsuniqueid was created to be able to identify uniquely an
entry among the replicas)
When sending an update the supplier add a special control to the replayed
operation containing the nsuniqueid, the csn and some other data, the
consumer use the control to get these data and although the operation is
logged with the original dn, it is applied on the entry with the
nsuniqueid.

Regards
   Pierre
