Deployment Architecture

Index from one indexer to another (non-clustered)

Hello,

So I have a rather unique issue that I am really having trouble with. We have a client that has their own splunk system in place. They send their data in a multitude of indexes to the their main indexer, nothing odd there. What we need though is to have a select grouping of indexes sent from their indexer, to our splunk on another network. A suggestion was made to basically query the indexes and toss them into a file then read that as a log. While that is an option I believe will work, it is a little ghetto and also consumes more disk space. Is there a native way of after something is indexed, for the indexer to also forward it on to us? I talked with our client about having the universal forwarder on the devices send to both indexers (which was way easy but they do not want the network bandwidth on those systems taxed more than they already are), so here I am trying to find the best method to do this. Thanks in advance for any possible assistance.
