Multiple authentication DBs

Hello,

Is it possible to set multiple DBs as authentication DBs? Or some other way
where I can use two different DBs for authentication instead of what is
specified in "authentication_db".

Thanks,
Ram

I'm extremely sorry I couldn't reply sooner.

This is what I'm doing right now. The problem is that filtered replication
is quite slow for my requirements (I have a main instance from which I
replicate several sets of authentication documents to over a hundred
different instances). Also, these sets of authentication documents are
totally unrelated and therefore makes it easier to have them in separate
DBs.

Thanks,
Ram

Certainly, that would work, but I'm not sure what the OP was trying to accomplish by the separation in the first place.

Couldn't you technically replicate the other DB into the main one?

What's your primary objective with having multiple authentication DBs?
