Hi all,

I'm testing out setting up 2 read-only consumers (each matches 1 of 2 
multi-masters).  Seems to be working fine, but I'm just trying to wrap my head 
around what's happening when changes are made:


1.       Have 2 multi-master Directory Servers (1.2.9.9) setup and running

2.       Create another DS, set Replication to "dedicated consumer"

3.       Create a replication agreement from 1 of the multi-masters to this 
consumer

4.       Modify an entry from the consumer

5.       Change is made on the read-only server and on the multi-masters

There's no replication agreement going FROM the consumer to the master, but I 
see changes on the master side anyways.  Is the consumer sending a request with 
the change to the master, who then makes the change and replicates it back to 
the consumer?

If the above is true, then how would I go about doing something like this:

The goal I'm trying to achieve is I want to put some read-only DS in an 
external zone.  In theory I don't think the read-only's should be able to 
modify the masters for security reasons (ie: if someone external compromises 
the external DS, they shouldn't be able to delete all the entries in the 
internal).  However, having the option to allow certain changes from the 
external into internal may be useful (maybe allowing password changes from the 
read-only to the master or something).

Thanks,
Ryan
