Defining a Replication Strategy
Each office contains a high-speed network, but you are using a dial-up connection
to network between the two cities. To balance your network load:
• Select one server in each office to be the master server for the locally managed
data.
Replicate locally managed data from that server to the corresponding master
server in the remote office.
• Replicate the directory tree on each master server (including data supplied
from the remote office) to at least one local Directory Server to ensure
availability of the directory data. You can use multi-master replication for
the suffix managed locally, and cascading replication for the suffix that is
receives a master copy of the data from a remote server.
