Description

I've got two ApacheDS servers, which I want to form a cluster for high availability purposes. LDAP1 replicates to LDAP2, and vice versa. The problem is that writing an attribute to LDAP1 causes it to update LDAP2, which causes it to update LDAP1, which causes it to update LDAP2, etc. I have no problem with the first three steps (LDAP1 -> LDAP2 -> LDAP1), but the replication engine should detect that LDAP1 doesn't need to be updated again.
