Multi master LDAP is not all that it's cracked up to be. There are few benefits in being able to write to different servers. The problem is that like many things, the rule is "Last write wins". Writing in LDAP dirs is not something that is "typically" done in high volumes anyway, but reading is. If you just need to load balance traffic, then you might look into an LVS implementation. That way you can set up several replicas and spread the load across them. If your Master gets blown away, you can promote of the replicas to a master.. Just takes some manual intervention. Just my two cents...

As I understand it, multi-master can be accomplished in OpenLDAP 2.3 using sync-replication between the two nodes. This is not true multi-master, but the effect is near-enough.
