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

[Paul Robert Marino]

Personally I don't understand the reason to even introduce a vip into
the equation. most if not all LDAP clients understand having multiple
servers in their configuration and since you can use wildcard certs or
certs with multiple host names.
also a lot of issues ive seen over the years with LDAP implementations
were caused by using VIPS and or load balancers.
