[389-users] # of master-master servers - do I need 4?

[Alan McKay]

Hey folks,

I keep seeing reference to 4 servers in all the docs.   Is that a
magic # of some sort?  i.e. Do I need to have 4?  Or can I have 2 or
3?

What I want to do is this :
- get main server set up here in the office
- get backup set up in office
- get another set up at remote site, on other end of VPN
- remove backup in office

So basically - have 2, then 3, then 2 again.

Seems reasonable to me, but what do I know?

I want to have the office backup just for redundancy because it could
be a few months before I can get other things in place to have this
going at the remote site.   But I really want to roll out ASAP in the
office now that I have the basics going (minus replication)

thanks,
-Alan
