Replication of new policies

Whenever we create new policies it takes a long time,
usually overnight, for the policies to replicate to all
servers. We have 9 servers/sites connected by 1.5 Mb ATM
connections. Any suggestions to speed up the replication
process would be helpful.

You don't gave us any informtion about your replication topology?

What is Your replication topology - did You replicate in hub topology or
You have KCC generated topology?

I don't know Your design but I will sugest You to create hub spoken
topology (one central location to whom other servers are talking in the
specified, not overlapping replication windows, whole replication cycle
takes places in specified time = n x time of replication windows)
 
Thank you for your reply, I should have included more
information. We have a hub/spoke setup with one server
acting as the hub and all other servers replicating from
the one server. I am not that knowledgeable about
replication so I'm not sure how to effect the timing you
spoke of. If you can give me a place to start I beleive I
can take it from there.

Thanks
Andrew
