Merge replication publisher subscriber

Hello
I have Publisher and 200 subscribers
I need to unload Publisher having added N intermediate Publishers
on 50 subscribers to everyone
And each intermediate publisher stores data only for it's owns
subscribers.
Is this possible?
Do I need for subscription that are created to be with ' global '
sync_typ?
Is there a particular order in witch a publications and a subscription
are created?
Thanks for your helps
ps : sql2000 SP4,8.00.2187Yes this is called republishing and it is recommended when you have large
numbers of merge subscribers. It does require the global priority between
the republishers. You create the main publisher first and then the
downstream ones.
