Hi ,
I have a question regarding DR option for cross region replication. Can we have 2 DRs with the same primary i.e. the source is same but the destination are different. In this event , does one of the DR perform really bad as compared to the other one? I have given it a try with nyc-ldn and nyc-hkg setup, but one of the DR is performing considerably badly as compared to the other one. Also, in status details of primary cluster : 1 DR as primary is showing but in both the secondary regions, it’s showing Running DR: 1 as secondary. I have configured the DR with different tags as well.
Thanks.

Further details: I am using FDB version 6.2.19 , from what I have tested so far, it looks like the primary is always showing the tag for the last DR that was set.

I don’t believe it’s possible to have more than two `usable_regions` in a multi-region cluster. I could have sworn there was an issue somewhere about addressing that, but I wasn’t able to find it on GitHub.
However, I thought that was possible with the multi-cluster DR solution that predates the multi-region configuration, detailed more here (where you run 1 cluster per region and then use the `fdbdr` tool and `dr_agent`s to asynchronously push changes from one cluster to the others): [Backup, Restore, and Replication for Disaster Recovery — FoundationDB 7.1](https://apple.github.io/foundationdb/backups.html) Then both configured DRs should be able to copy information from the primary to the secondaries, though switching the primary might be complicated. You could also do something like run two regions as one cluster in a multi-region configuration, and then have the third configured using `fdbdr`. That being said, I’m not sure if this has been tried, so you might run into problems.

In what way is one worse than the other? I’m not really an expert, but it wouldn’t surprise me if, for example, London-NYC had a smaller lag than NYC-Hong Kong because of differences in networking delays, say

I have tried single DR setups also I mean with just nyc-ldn at a time and nyc-hkg at a time, but the lag seems way off now .
Also, I am confused about how many DRs status detail reports in the primary:
