Hi,

Yes you can forward it to multiple HF. You need to do configuration in outputs.conf as below

[tcpout]
defaultGroup = HF_GRP_1, HF_GRP_2
disabled = false

[tcpout:HF_GRP_1]
server = 10.10.0.1:9997,10.10.0.2:9997

[tcpout:HF_GRP_2]
server = 10.20.0.1:9997,10.20.0.2:9997

Above configuration will forward all data to both the HF groups, if you have any specific requirement to route subset of data to different HF group then please provide more details.
