Good. Also note that we RHEL/CentOS 7.1 will have FreeIPA 4.0+ version baked
in, so you can also use that platform if you are used to it.

Can you please look on the master you are replicating from and look for errors
in /var/log/messages or DS errors log?

Maybe you will see messages like "ns-slapd: encoded packet size too big (xxxxxx
> 65536)" that are know to pop up more with CentOS 6.6.
