Thanks guys for the responses. So I was missing the overlay declaration in the slapd.conf file but now I'm running into another problem that no else seems to have either. Here are the log messages:

Also, the weird thing is that replication worked for a while, I only ever populated one server and it was replicated over to the consumer even without the overlay declaration.
