Hi

This has bug has pretty much destroyed my IPA deployment.......I had a pretty 
bad memory leak had to reboot every 36 hours...made worse by trying later 6.3? 
rpms didnt fix the leak and it went split brain........2 months and no 
fix....boy did that open up a can of worms.....

:/

In my case I cant see how its churn as I have so few entries (<50) and Im 
adding no more items at present....unless a part of ipa is "replicating and 
diffing" in the background to check consistency? 

I also have only one way replication now at most,  master to replica and no 
memory leak shows in Munin at present.........

but I seem to be faced with a rebuild from scratch.......

This memory issue is still occuring in the production environment after 
increasing the max entry
cache size to 256MB, and it is impacting performance. See below for an output 
of the memory usage
and the current size and hitratio of the cache on the 3 production IPA servers.

How do you suggest moving forward to troubleshoot this issue?
