We have a setup where we are running 2 servers behind a load balancer (for HA purposes), where each of these servers is bulk-initialized daily (via ldif2db.pl) with a large set of data fed to us via batch extracts from various administrative systems. Up till now, there has been no need to configure replication between these 2 servers, as all of the data is read-only. However, we now have a requirement to update some of the directory data in a "real-time" fashion (e.g., when particular events fire in our PeopleSoft system we want to update the directory)--hence, the need for MMR. The batch extracts will still be our "checkpoints", so we will want to load them in once-per-day, as we do now. So, the question is: what would be the "recommended" approach for a scenario like this? How do we (can we?) make MMR coexist peacefully with frequent bulk initializations? TIA, --Gary -- Gary Windham Senior Enterprise Systems Architect The University of Arizona, UITS +1 520 626 5981
