Any Luck Yet?

Tim, by "inefficient" replication, I meant merely that something is causing replication to occur when it shouldn't need to. There are lots of potential reasons for this to occur but it isn't clear that this is really the case.

If you are seeing continuous or near-continuous pulling by the Notes client from the Domino Server, then I think it is important to identify what the Notes client is doing when it is pulling that data. Is it a scheduled replication event from the Notes client that is running continuously? If so, is it actually replicating data? If so, what is it that is causing the Notes client to continually think that the Domino Server has new or modified data that needs to be pulled down to the Notes client.

The fact that your bandwidth is fully utilized by your 40 Notes client might be a symptom of changes being made by the Domino Server to the user's mailfile, causing the Notes client to continuously (or nearly) replicate with the Domino Server. It is not normal for a remote Notes client to be continuously replicating with a Domino Server if all it is doing is replicating a mailfile and the person isn't receiving hundreds of messages an hour. Perhaps there is something other than replication that is causing this Notes client communication with the Domino Server, but I don't know what that could be, to be honest.

Can you get a hold of the replication logs from the Notes clients and see what is going on there? I would be suspicious of long and frequent replication if you see that.
