Yes, if you define the path(s) from master to slave(s), then it will work.

Likewise, it needs to know if the data got to the slaves, hence the "chatter".<br><br></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote></div><br>Are you sure about that? I understood that you could get away with not having paths between slaves, provided you had paths to and from each slave and the master. The downside was that failover wouldn't work, but that's acceptable for my purposes. Why pay for something I'm not using?<br>
