In the interest of providing some history: I have three (3) FreeIPA servers. Everything is running 4.4.0 now. The originals (orldc-prod-ipa01, orldc-prod-ipa02) were upgraded from the 3.x branch quite a while back. Everything had been working fine, however I ran into a replication issue (that I _think_ may have been a result of IPv6 being disabled by my default Ansible roles). I thought I had resolved that by reinitializing the 2nd replica, orldc-prod-ipa02. In any case, I feel like the replication has never been fully stable since then, and I have all types of errors in messages that indicate something is off. I had single introduced a 3rd replica such that the agreements would look like so: orldc-prod-ipa01 -> orldc-prod-ipa02 ---> bohdc-prod-ipa01 It feels like orldc-prod-ipa02 & bohdc-prod-ipa01 are out of sync. I've tried reinitializing them in order but with no positive results. At this point, I feel like I'm ready to 'bite the bullet' and tear them down quickly (remove them from IPA, delete the local DBs/directories) and rebuild them from scratch. I want to minimize my impact as much as possible (which I can somewhat do by redirecting LDAP/DNS request via my load-balancers temporarily) and do this right. (Getting to the point...) I'd like advice on the order of operations to do this. Give the errors (I'll include samples at the bottom of this message), does it make sense for me to remove the replicas on bohdc-prod-ipa01 & orldc-prod-ipa02 (in that order), wipe out any directories/residual pieces (I'd need some idea of what to do there), and then create new replicas? -OR- Should I export/backup the LDAP DB and rebuild everything from scratch. I need advice and ideas. Furthermore, if there is someone with experience in this that would be interested in making a little money on the side, let me know, because having an extra brain and set of hands would be welcome.

I suspect you created a new replica and used that to initialize a valid replica which broke things. Something like that. You need to find a "good" replica server and reinitialize the other replicas from that server. These errors needs to addressed asap, as it's halting replication for those agreements which explains the "instability" you are describing.
