[389-users] not all masters are born equal?

[Gerrard Geldenhuis]

Hi
Just wanted to double check; We have not created replication agreements between all masters and in some instances it might take 2 hops for a change to be replicated everywhere. We are happy with this trade-off in delay for simplicity. Are we breaking some cardinal rule regarding multi-master or is this acceptable? The idea is to have edge servers in each DC that speaks to other DC edge servers and internally things are more verbal. 

A simplified attempt at a diagram. changes in dc1master02 will take two replications before it reaches dc2master02

dc1                                      dc2
master02 <-> master01 <-> master01 <-> master02

This question pertains both to a shared NetscapeRootDB and userDB databases.


Best Regards
