# Managing entry-balancing replication

Replication in the PingDirectoryProxy server synchronizes directory data between all servers in the topology.

However, In a deployment using the entry-balancing feature, directory data under the entry-balancing point is split into multiple data sets. Each data set is replicated to ensure high availability between a subset of the servers in the topology.

Other directory data, such as the schema or data above the entry-balancing point, is replicated between all servers in the topology.

This section about replication in an entry-balancing environment contains the following:
