Hi Leo, a quick search for "multiple daemons" at www.mysql.com/doc reveals: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Multiple_servers.html
This should give you all your answers and make it possible to do what you want.

Main Server Branch ----------- ------ DB1, 3306 DB1, 3306, BranchServer1 DB2, 3307 DB2, 3307, BranchServer2 DB3, 3308 DB3, 3308, BranchServer3 DB4, 3309 DB4, 3309, BranchServer4 and so on... MASTER DB(DB1,DB2...DBn) on port 33xx is this possible??? or maybe there are other solution.. pleasseee.. i really appreciate it oh, one more thing, can the replication run both way? what ever happened on machine A, replicated on machine B and vice versa.. thanks... -- Regards Leonardus Setiabudi IT Project Coordinator PT Bina San Prima, www.binasanprima.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
