https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Indexer-Cluster-Network/m-p/758372#M29803 <P>Hello, I have a question regarding the indexer cluster, can we have 2 peers hosted in different networks / sites? Of course the communication between them will be allowed I just want to verify that having them hosted in different sites will work or will it affect the cluster's performance?</P> Mon, 16 Feb 2026 08:07:38 GMT dania_abujuma 2026-02-16T08:07:38Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Indexer-Cluster-Network/m-p/758372#M29803 <P>Hello, I have a question regarding the indexer cluster, can we have 2 peers hosted in different networks / sites?
