I also tried to install OID with multimaster replication and failed. I did not persue the problem, but there are several Metalink entries about that.
If I remember correctly, you should truncate certain tables in the repository database before starting the oidrepld.

We decided not to use multimaster replication because it is quite complicated, costs additional licenses (I think) and requires extra attention during upgrades.

What we chose, and what I would recommend unless you have good reasons not to do so, is LDAP replication.

High availibility is guaranteed: if you shutdown either OID, clients will use the other one for name resolution.
