Even worse my results with 3 MMR providers and 2 read-only consumer replicas are sometimes not very pleasant regarding data consistency. At the moment this test servers are running as VMs on ESX server. I will repeat my tests with real hardware to make sure there's nothing wrong because of the virtual environment. Using delta-sync MMR does not make sense in my case because entries will be completely added, modified or delete. (I have no influence on the client app writing there.) Ciao, Michael.
