    You cannot replicate from one master to more than one replica.
    However, you should be able to replicate from master to replica, then
    from replica to another replica.

    Ie. Master->Replica1->Replica2

    I realise this will introduce a small delay in the replication from
    Master to Replica2, and will rely on replica1 being available, but it
    should still be a valid option.

    Cheers,
    Roland
