Not knowing anything about ldap I looked at some of the HOWTOs. They
are all long on configuring and using ldap, but none describe the
ldap protocol. From
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/LDAP-HOWTO.html#HowitWorks
I see that ldap uses iterative calls to the slapd (somewhat like DNS), and can
be sent to other slapds (I don't know how this would work in your case). As well
the slapd needs a 3rd tier database (eg dbm). If the clients are writing to the
database, then you're going to have the many reader, many writer problem
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/Joseph.Mack/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.services.single-port.html#databases
you're going to have to have only one copy of the database if clients are
writing to the slapd
