Oh my.

My arrangement is for 1 master (on one server) and two slaves (on two other
servers). With a little insight and with your help, I am able to replicate
the master to the two other slaves now! I did this so that I can have harware
redundancy and seperate databases scattered around in my environment.

Thank you for all of your help and most importantly, your patience with a
really ignorant newbie! ;)

Kind Regards,
Dan
