Being the impatient man that I am, I wiped the VM clean, reinstalled 
Fedora 16 and tried to avoid all the previous customization in the 
network settings (the one that was meant to disable IPv6) - it's pretty 
close to a vanilla installation, except for static IP and, of course, 
the FreeIPA guidelines. The installation and the replication went great.

So, PEBKAC :)

Just for discussion's sake, before I reinstalled I did try 'nc localhost 
389' and various other ports and I got "connection refused".

Thanks to all for the replies.
