Thanks, Pierangelo.
Now i know how slurd works: It tries to replicate a change for each
server listed on the "replica" directives. So, since i have 2 replica
directives(one per database) for each server, it would send the change
request 2 twice for the same server.
A simple "work arround" is to write the server name with all caps in
one replica directive (for one database) and without caps in the
olher replica directive(for the olher database).
Since slapd is case sensitive, and DNS is not, slapd wont send the
change request twice to the server, and the name resolution stil works.
This drives me to another question: Why doent slurd check for "name
server" and "database baseDN" when sending a change request?
I believe its not dificult to implement, it would easyer to
understand and we wouldnt need "work arrounds".
Thanks, once again.

p.
I have a Master server with 2 databases. The master replicates the 2
databases to several slave servers.
Replication is working but i get errors ( on serverName.rep) as if
changes were replicating twice.
Ocasioally, replication stops and I need to restart slurd.
Im using openldap 2.2.27.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
