Setting up a 2nd snapshot replication site

Hi all,

We are currently using advanced replication with snapshot replication to replication from a master to a slave destination. Now we'd like establish a 2nd replication destination but taking a copy of 1st replication site and then registering it with the master site. Is this possible? Can we just shutdown SLAVE #1, bring it up as SLAVE #2 with new DBID and SID, and then push out replication to both sites? How do we go about registering the 2nd replication site so that the master will know that there are now 2 replication sites?

I don't want to start the 2nd replication site from scratch. I need to use the 1st replication database as a starting point as it has about 400GB of data and replicating that from scratch is going to take a long time.

TIA, Leng.
