Configuring an n-way multi-master information sharing topology. Adding a new node (e.g., database server) to the information sharing topology can be implemented as follows. Initially, the new node is added as a slave of a particular co-master in the information sharing topology. The objects to replicate are instantiated on the new node by propagating data from the particular co-master to the new node. Furthermore, a capture process is created on the particular co-master to send changes to the objects to the slave. Meanwhile, the co-masters continue to propagate changes to each other. To promote the slave to a master, changes to objects stored at the slave are propagated to each of the co-masters. Furthermore, changes at each of the masters are propagated to the promoted node.
