It just means that you have to connect to the console on each machine, 
and each console would only show the admin server and directory servers 
on that machine.  You won't have the centralized console.  When you set 
up replication in the console, it won't show you the other servers, 
you'll have to input the hostnames and ports manually.  Other than that, 
everything should work just fine.
