Re: New Machine Domino Testing (involving cluster)

I believe so.  Perform a simple test
Create a new database
Replicate this database on to a different server.
Backup the database on the new server.
Make some changes to the database on the primary.
Replicate it over to the backup server
DBCACHE FLUSH on the backup server
delete the database on the backup server
restore from backup
replicate again and see if your changes appear.  I bet they will.

I am trying to guess how they do replication.  I am betting there isn't 
some huge server file that keeps track of which field in which file has 
been replicated.
Nor do I wish to believe that there is a id in the "primary" field that 
says "this field has been replicated to servers A,C,F"

I am taking a big WAG that there is a replica hash much like the table 
replica id.  And if the replica hash isn't identical then somehow Domino 
quickly finds the changes.
