At VLSCI we originally ran 389-DS multi-master with an LDAP server on each cluster management node plus another one on the system running the user management portal for the users.
Later I think we moved to a single central master with read-only replicas for reasons that escape me now.
Everything talked to at least 2 LDAP servers (compute nodes had their management node plus one other).
We went with 389-DS because that's what VPAC was using when I moved to VLSCI and we needed to get operational quickly. At some point after that VPAC then moved to OpenLDAP for reasons unknown.
Generally if it ain't broke don't fix it. You need to have compelling reasons to introduce change, otherwise you end up with "Move quickly and break things!" rapidly followed by "Why is everything always broken and awful?"
