Here's a theory:

When you do a modify on the replica, the replica gives the application an
ldap referral to instead write to the master. If only the IP of replica box
and not the WWW box has not been included in the access list of the
firewall, the modify will fail. When the application is given the referral
it will try to do a write on the master, coming from the WWW box. This would
also explain why it worked on the replica box. To be sure check out the logs
of the master (original) LDAP to see what happens when you do a write on
each machine.
