Thank you, Dieter! The simple solutions are the best, I wonder why I
hadn't the same idea :)

It seems to me that there is something missed in the syncrepl if after

Yes, maybe. We use Heartbeat to switch the Service-IP between the
masters, that's why we have always exactly one primary and one
secondary. The N-Way or MirrorMode in that case is usefull because we
don't have to switch between different master-slave configs for ldap,
but keeping two identical configs ....
