The way I read that, it configures a location to where a machine will replicate data. At present, I’m trying to turn up the new box slowly (haven’t yet configured LDA or appropriate TLS settings, for example), so my intent was that this host not replicate any of its data anywhere, yet.  Eventually, I’ll have data moving hostA <—> hostB bidirectionally.

Is the phased approach I was trying to take not something supported?
