I think it will throw error but it may work if you use same stanza for different indexes like
[perfmon://CPU]
index=aaaa

[perfmon://CPU]
index=bbbb

and if you want to send cpu and mem in 2 diffrent index then

[perfmon://CPU]
index=aaaa

[perfmon://Memory]
index=bbbb

Yes you can do it that way. But cloning data is not a feature that UF are capable of. HF are the ability to do what is call data cloning and routing if thats what you want from Forwarder. Else it can be down at the indexer level. Its easy to clone data to two different system than to clone data the same system.
