The easiest way to think of it is like this: Each master server must have a different replica ID. Each replicated area on a master server should have the same replica ID. The replica ID of the consumer is irrelevant.
For example, let's say I have multi-master replication, with three replicated areas, dc=company,dc=com, ou=people,dc=company,dc=com, and o=company.com. First master: dc=company,dc=com: replicaID=1 First master: ou=people,dc=company,dc=com: replicaID=1 First master: o=company.com: replicaID=1 Second master: dc=company,dc=com: replicaID=2 Second master: ou=people,dc=company,dc=com: replicaID=2 Second master: o=company.com: replicaID=2 All consumer servers, all replicated areas: replicaID=255 The replicaID on the consumers is not supposed to matter, but iPlanet suggests setting it to 255. You might want to try using iplanet.server.directory in the future - your query will probably get answered faster there.
