So basically I should have my two multimasters run independent admin servers? I did notice that I can admin the other "independent" secondary master with the 'left over' entry in the config DB of the primary (it was left there after I redid the secondary since the I left the primary). This suggests I could probably add each of the two master to each other's config DB manually. I'm not really sure that this is even useful though in a small install. Probably best to leave them as separate admin servers with the userRoot replicated; that seems to work just fine. -- Daryle A. Tilroe
