Hello,

A master starts a replication session to a replica. During this session 
it checks which updates are missing and is sending them. Then it closes 
the replication session.
If the replica is already up to date, the master will send no update.
The timestamp nsds5replicalastupdateend, is the time when the master has 
sent all the missing updates (possibly 0 if the replica is up to date) 
and has no more update to send.
The master is waiting for the replica response (on each update) before 
setting this timestamp.

If an error occurred while sending an update the master resets 
'nsds5replicaLastUpdateStart' timestamp.

thanks
thierry
