If your 2.6 cn=config has 2.6 specific config options, then you cannot replicate cn=config. There's no such thing as "slapd.conf" replication. If you're not replicating configurations, just the primary hdb/mdb database, the it doesn't matter if one set of systems is using cn=config and the other set is using slapd.conf. The way in which the underlying database is stored (hdb/mdb) does not matter in terms of replication, because what's replicated are LDIF operations, not binary data. --Quanah
