Hi everyone, I posted this last week but nobody replied. I thought I would send it out there one more time as I'd really like to know what you experts think. The documentation about what benefits using a configuration server gives you is lacking.

Just wondering if there are any problems I should be aware of if I want to setup a single master multiple slave scenario WITHOUT using the master as a configuration server and just replicating our directory database (not o=Netscape Root). I'm ok having to connect to the slave admin servers individually instead of them all showing up in the console when I connect to the master admin server. Are there any other drawbacks?

What are the benefits of using a configuration server in this scenario?

Thank you,
