Chained replication
Hi,
I was wondering if this kind of setup is possible, and if so, how to implement it ?
Let's say I have two databases (DB1 and DB2), and four servers (SrvA, SrvB, SrvC, SrvD), across multiple OSes (OS1, OS2, OS3). I think the OS doesn't matter much unless there is some kind of config tweak to apply that I'm unaware of.
So, I want DB1 which is on SrvA, to be replicated on SrvB, and then I want SrvB to replicate it on SrvC, and finally SrvC to replicate it on SrvD.
For DB2 I want something else. I want DB2 to be replicated from SrvA to SrvB and SrvD simultaneously, and then from SrvB or SrvD (depending on server availability), replicated to SrvC.
The sequencing is important as not all servers are available at the same time (uptime & connectivity requirements are different for each server).
Is what I'm asking possible in the first place ?
OSes are linux (SrvA, SrvC), OpenIndiana (SrvB), Windows (SrvD).
Thanks,
