[389-users] how to keep in sync centos-ds in a dr scenario

[Jim Finn]

Instead of having the same actual IP for each server, why not use virtual
IPs with something like heartbeat?  This way if replica-A at siteA goes down,
replica-A at siteB will take over.  This entirely depends on your network
topology, but may be a step in the right direction.

Having servers with the same IPs doens't seem to be the most elegant
solution; same with rsync'ing your database instead of using replication.
