I used the Admin Console to do the creation/wiping and importing.  Not 
sure which mechanism that invokes.  So far it hasn't created major 
problems, except with RADIUS authentication, since freeradius 
apparently wants a unique entry when a LDAP BIND occurs.  I'm 
envisioning the need to completely wipe things for this subtree on one 
server.  If I disable replication both ways for this subtree, delete 
the subtree on the errant server, then enable replication and 
initialize from the good set of data, that should take care of things, 
right?  Or is there an even simpler way to recreate the index?
