I didn't think you needed to, that's why I didn't suggest FDS. I only commented on FDS after several people commented, and it was clear that was a tangent going forward.
We are in a testing mode now and I have barely even started looking into how to configure multi-master replication in OpenLDAP.
Oh, I had assumed you already had OpenLDAP in production. In that case, download FDS 7.1 (legacy binary version) from here: http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Special:Download
The showstopper at the moment is that FDS 1.0 does not currently support x86_64, which is what our production servers will be running.
You can run the i386 version on x86_64. But yeah, from a scalability standpoint, it would be nice.
Their website says:
The FDS 1.0 package includes the core DS, the Admin Server, the Management Console, web applications, and other support code for those apps, including online help. These work on 32 bit only - we are working on x86_64 support.
I interpreted that to mean that their i386 build would not run on x86_64.

From what I saw, most of these were because of Java,
Sleepycat DB and other software that were made in x86_64 form. If you load the i386 versions, they will work. I had RHDS/FDS 7.1 (at least components of it -- I didn't test everything) running on FC/RHEL x86_64, as long as I loaded the i386 versions.
They probably say this because it isn't straight-forward, I'll admit.
