[Fedora-directory-users] nsds5task

[James]

Does anyone know much about the attribute nsds5task under 

cn=replica,cn="m-suffix",cn=mapping tree,cn=config ?

I have a system with multiple directory servers using multi-master replication 
which has 2 suppliers and 3 dedicated consumers.  The system receives a large 
amount of updates in a batch run at night.  The problem I'm experiencing is 
that if I point the batch run at one of the 2 suppliers, it runs considerably 
slower than the other supplier (30-50%).  The only difference I can find 
between these two suppliers (other than some expected differences) is this 
one attribute, who's value is set to "CL2LDIF" on the slow server, and the 
attribute is not set on the other.

>From the very small amount of information I've found on this attribute, it 
appears that it causes the directory server to dump its changelogs.  Should 
this attribute be set to "CL2LDIF" on one server constantly, but not be set 
at all on the other?  Might this setting be causing one slow server?  If so, 
how can I fix this situation?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Thanks,
~James
