Yup: $host ldap.nodak.edu ldap.nodak.edu is an alias for vs2.ndsu.nodak.edu. vs2.ndsu.nodak.edu has address 134.129.111.102 >> There's another organization co-located with the IT organization here at >> the university, and they've also been running LVS-DR in front of their >> openldap directory for nearly as along as we have. >> >> LDAP is a critical component of Hurderos, which we've been using since >> its inception.

There certainly can be, but in our case we have a master repository (an Oracle database) that feeds adds/deletes/modifies directly to our two back-end LDAP servers (bypassing the LVS-DR director). The built-in replication has really matured. Once OpenLDAP 2.4 is out, I need to revisit what's possible with it.
