At first, all I did was set 2 and 3 as consumers of 1, using the configuration tool on 1. Nothing replicated.
Then I set up cross replication on 2 and 3 , again only using the configuration tool. Each set the other two as consumers, and I left the everything as defaults except the replication dn. My test entries under dc=foo,dc=com then disappeared after restart. That's it. What ldif search would you find most useful?
