Thanks for the quick response.

The reason for my confusion regarding setting up replication for the NetscapeRoot, is that there is only one copy of the NetscapeRoot. When I use the administration console, in the configuration tab, selecting Data or Replication on the second master server, I only see the database for the userRoot not NetscapeRoot. So what I am unclear on is how to setup replication when I don't have a NetscapeRoot database on the second master server to replicate to.

Thanks

If you require failover capability for the configuration data, then you should set up replication for it.

If the recommendation is to replicate the NetscapeRoot, I am a little unclear on the steps to take to copy database to the other master so that I can setup replication.

It's the same as setting up replication for userRoot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ok. In the Configuration tab, on the data node, select New Root Suffix,

and create a suffix o=NetscapeRoot with a database named NetscapeRoot.
