Hi All,

Is it possible to have two or more different es instances (local clusters) accessing the same set of remote clusters?

E.g.  
es\_a -\> es\_b, es\_c, es\_d, es\_e, es\_f  
and in the same time  
es\_a1 -\> es\_b, es\_c, es\_d, es\_e, es\_f  
....  
es\_an -\> es\_b, es\_c, es\_d, es\_e, es\_f

Thank you in advance

Yes, that's possible.

Thank you, David, for your prompt response!  
Therefore, as es\_b, es\_c, es\_d, es\_e are agnostic of who is accessing them, there will be no flapping signal. e.g. es\_a or es\_a1 to lose es\_b or es\_c, etc. periodically  
I also assume that any elasticsearch version (we use v6+) supporting cross-cluster search is working fine too!
