twice)

Hello,
I have the following test setup:
1) Samba3 + slave OpenLDAP - the same PC, win2k in same LAN
2) OpenLDAP master
OpenLDAP slave and master are divided by a rather slow internet VPN link.
Whenever I want to add a PC to a domain, I have to do it twice - with
first time I get an error on a client side, second join is successful.
I guess it's because master and slave are divided by slow link, and it
takes some time to replicate from a master to slave, too, and it all
confuses Samba as it can't find a username (machine name) it just added.
I tried setting "ldap replication sleep", started with 5000, and tried
setting it as high as 100000, but it didn't help.
The only consequence of setting "ldap replication sleep = 100000" is
that I have to wait a couple of minutes before it joins the domain when
I try to do it for the second time (and succeeds).
With "ldap replication sleep = 5000", it joins the domain in about 15
secs (when I join the domain for the second time).
The first time I try to join a domain I get an error after about 10-12
seconds, no matter value "ldap replication sleep" has.
I use smbldap-tools 0.85 for adding users/machines.
Any clue?
