That's impossible to determine on the basis of the available information. How is logging set up? What kind of environments are the nodes running in? Is it possible they are able to write to a shared disk of some sort? > Are the message/error-logs also replicated? No. > Is this the intended behaviour? It's not typical behaviour, but I suppose it's conceivable someone designed such a setup for some reason. Regards Ian Barwick
