Thanks - I think we have enough ideas in here to get this going. One last question: If replication is set up through the host name - how often does the directory server do a DNS look up, or does it do it once on startup (or creation of the rep agreement)? -----Original Message----- From: William Brown <wbrown@xxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2020 10:48 PM To: 389-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [EXTERNAL] [389-users] Re: Re: Advice to bring new servers into production There are a few options. The best would be a load balancer which has the ip's so that it's transparent to your LDAP servers where they are. But also as mentioned, the virtual IP's honestly is the best way. Linux can have multiple IP's on an interface so you can just have two IP's on one interface, andthat's the best way to do this. Alternately, don't rely on the IP, lower your DNS ttl's to a very short time, change the DNS A/AAAA records, and then do it that way. > On 27 May 2020, at 06:17, Crocker, Deborah <crock@xxxxxx> wrote: > > I’d like not to take up two ip addresses per host indefinitely.

If your goal is to simply maintain an IP so your clients don't have to be repointed, I would build each new LDAP host and replication agreement, and then as you decommission the old hosts use their IP address as a virtual IP address on the replacement host. It would take a quick restart od the LDAP service to start a listener on the virtual Ip address. > > > Leo Pleiman > Senior System Engineer > Direct 202-787-3622 > Cell 410-688-3873 > > > > On Tue, May 26, 2020 at 3:57 PM Crocker, Deborah <crock@xxxxxx> wrote: > We have a setup with 2 multi-masters and 3 consumers.

After initializing new consumer from one master - turn off old consumer, remove old consumer agreement from each master, and re-IP new consumer. Do we need to restart masters to re-read DNS or will it pick that up when it starts the next replication?
