Domino Replication
Hi,
We have two domino servers at palnt1 and plant2. plant2 is having around 200 users.
Plant 2 users keep on coming to plant1 and accessing their mails from plant one server. For that reason we have put plant  users mail files on plant1 server.
We have created replication document between plant1 and plant2 for all mail file replication.
The replication takes time as it has to replicate 200 mail files.Is there any way to do replication quicker . Does creation of multiple connection document and spliting mail database between two connection document help or increasing mltiple replicator.

My point actually is: why use replication, instead of just route the mail to the user's home server?
@sjef yep got that one, but if this is for people how visit another site (plant1) then there would need to be some process to temporarily make that change on request, and then have it change back. but in a way that doesn't break mail delivery of course.
But I think OP wants up to date replica at other site (plant1) for when people visit.
What you asked is valid to get more info as real question is, what is the problem ?
Is replication never finishing ?, is it just new database replication not working ?, is it users complaining mail is slow ?

We agree.
I just suspect a very slow link... Therefore you have to avoid replication as much as possible.

How are users logging on and picking up their mail.
Laptops ? They could have local replicas.
Desktops ? Use a Virtual desktop back to plant2 or use Inotes access for mail.
Get moar bandwidth..

Cannot tell you how much I love the feedback...
My questions to you:
- what is the mail topology you want? do you want plant1 users to have their mail on the plant1 server, and plant2 users on plant2 server?
- which plant has the connection to the Internet? or do both have one?
- how did you move those users? using the Admin client?
- what is the line speed of the connection between the 2 servers?
- if the speed is limited, and you have good servers, what made you think that a 2nd Connection document might increase replication??
In short: can describe the problem, what do you want, in detail, WITHOUT thinking about possible solutions.
