Use a central master LDAP server at Mumbai, and all the other nodes have slave LDAP configs. All new entries to address books are written to Mumbai and replicated to all other nodes. > How to achieve a common addressbook in Linux if any one can throw some light > over this .. http://www.google.com/search?q=ldap+common+addressbook > And is having a centralized server for 3000 users really goung to choke the BW > because i can do it immidiately But is it a good solution.
