+ <para>When Samba is asked to write to a read-only LDAP
+replica, we are redirected to talk to the read-write master server.
+This server then replicates our changes back to the 'local' server,
+however the replication might take some seconds, especially over slow
+links. Certain client activities, particularly domain joins, can become
+confused by the 'success' that does not immediately change the LDAP
+back-end's data. </para>
+ <para>This option simply causes Samba to wait a short time, to
+allow the LDAP server to catch up. If you have a particularly
+high-latency network, you may wish to time the LDAP replication with a
+network sniffer, and increase this value accordingly. Be aware that no
+checking is performed that the data has actually replicated.</para>
