Multiple MySQL replication slaves?
I have an interesting situation.
My office has multiple locations (a central office and numerous satellite locations), and the connection between the satellites and central office is very slow. I wanted to have a single Tiki installation that was 'mirrored' to multiple satellite locations.
I have already pored through the documentation, and seen the page on replication. But it is not very well documented (it only shows some configuration lines; it doesn't show if the slave has to be created, if preferences are mirrored or independent on the different servers, etc). It also appears to only support one shadow host (I'm guessing that the shadow is the 'slave' Tiki).
Is there a way to support multiple slave systems from a single master?
Note the following:
1. I don't necessarily need the Tiki configuration mirrored. I can do that myself, and certain configuration items will be different (LDAP hosts, etc).
2. I don't need to be able to write content on all the servers at once. I would be happy writing content at the master system (in the central office), and read-only copies on the slave systems. No 'multiple masters' for content.
3. I need to be able to replicate the pages and any attached files. I currently have the file gallery storing files in the database, so that may be enough if the database replicates.
4. I don't need Intertiki, since I'm using LDAP hosts for authentication (and those hosts replicate with each other on their own). I need content mirroring.
