This is outside the scope pf OpenLDAP.  The OS will always choose the default 
route for newly established outbound network connections.  You would achieve 
your desired behavior by overriding the default route with a static route added 
to the routing table in the host OS.  Note: this would impact all network 
traffic destined for a specific IP and not just syncrepl traffic.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Specific outgoing IP for syncrepl

This is an EXTERNAL email. STOP. THINK before you CLICK links or OPEN

I've been using openldap's multi-master syncrepl based sync for years and it 
works great. But, I would like to be able to specify which IP on a multi-IP 
system syncrepl makes outgoing connections to other members of the sync cluster.

On my multi-IP servers I am able to get slapd to only bind to a specific IP 
with the appropriate -h option. That works fine. But, outgoing syncrepl 
connections come from the primary IP on the server.

Can anyone suggest a way to specify which IP syncrepl will use to make outgoing 
replication queries?
