In other words, if N-Way supports two masters writing while MM does not,
how can it not have a different configuration?
It has nothing to do with configuration of MMR, which I think is the point
you're missing. It has purely to do with configuring it so only one master
ever takes writes at a given time. With writes only ever going to one
master, you have a 100% guarantee you'll never get a conflict between two
masters. Which you essentially get with delta-syncrepl MMR anyway.
Exactly, I definitely missed that. The Admin Guide alludes to these
being distinct configurations by the way they're bulleted out but the
difference is actually in the architecture outside of OpenLDAP. Thanks
for that clarification.
What I've designed is a two-node cluster each running a proxy that talks
to the local backend over IPC and fails over to the other node over TCP
if via the meta backend. This becomes Nway because clients are being
distributed via DNS. (The proxies fail between the nodes, the backend
slapd's do not.)
