Thanks Andrew

Ahh interesting, yes I have it setup so that 2 and 3 both send
(forward) data to 4 and 5.. the paths take, listeners are created but
I had a feeling this may not be wise. Are you sure it doesn't work? I
think I have it working, but if it's frowned upon or otherwise
questionable, I'll change my path.

Also to include more info. I have 3 sets.

sets 1,2,3 are on the master and the 2 slaves (master replicating
(actively sending data to  both slaves).  I could fail-over between
these 3 nodes.

set 1 is only replicated between the slaves (2 and 3) and the Qslaves
( 4 and 5).
2-4
3-4
2-5
3-5

Master and Slaves are forwarders. Qslaves are non forwarders

Still wrong, even if I "Think" I have it working?
