Thanks Christian I think thats exactly what I needed - I will try and make
2 new rings and see how that works. You wouldnt per chance know how I would
limit the replicas, ie 2 in the Paris region and 1 at HQ? I only want one
replica to goto the HQ region...


So for instance, if I have two nodes in the my HQ region and I only want
one replica, would I run the following commands:

swift-ring-builder account.builder add hq-ip#1:6002/sda3 100

swift-ring-builder account.builder add hq-ip#2:6002/sda3 100

If the nodes in Paris are as is follows:

he minimum number of hours before a partition can be reassigned is 1
Devices:    id  region  zone      ip address  port  replication ip
 replication port      name weight partitions balance meta
             0       1     1       10.7.5.51  6002       10.7.5.51
     6002      sda3 100.00        384    0.00
             1       1     1       10.7.5.51  6002       10.7.5.51
     6002      sda4 100.00        384    0.00
             2       1     1       10.7.5.52  6002       10.7.5.52
     6002      sda3 100.00        384    0.00
             3       1     1       10.7.5.52  6002       10.7.5.52
     6002      sda4 100.00        384    0.00


That for some reason doesnt seem correct to me but what do I know. Also, if
you notice i my command for the name i gave hq-ip# - do I have to use the
naming convention r#z#-ip when I add? Thanks

Amit
