I want to know if a server can be a slave and master at the same time. Our problem is that we have lots of mobile units that need to be synced to the master but they only need 6 out of the 100s of tables on the master. All the extra tables serve no purpose on the slave except for delaying synchronization and adding data costs.
We want to create a smaller schema say mobileSchema that contains only 6 tables that are sync'd to their counterparts in the masterSchema. Is this possible? To have schemas sync internally or have some master/slave-master/slave configuration where the middle server is slave to the bigger server and master to the mobile units?
If the answer is no would anyone have any alternate solutions to propose. We're trying to avoid having to sync the different schemas/databases manually as that can get real ugly real fast.
