In the topology you just illustrated, you need to be specific about your scheme using arrows. Here are some examples:

Hello together, I have successfully set up a master-master-replication between two servers. My question is: It is possible to set up such a replication between three (or more) servers? Like this Master3 --- Master1 --- Master2 | Master4 Thanks for your feedback Best regards Frank -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=redwa...@logicworks.net -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
