# 3.2. Multiple Satellite Horizontally Tiered Topology

For very large networks, a more distributed method may be needed, such as having multiple RHN Satellite Servers in a horizontally tiered configuration and balancing the load of client requests.

It is possible to synchronize content between RHN Satellites using the `rhn-satellite-exporter` and `satellite-sync -m` commands. This feature is discussed in detail in Section 6.1.1 `rhn-satellite-exporter`.

Additional maintenance is the biggest disadvantage of this horizontal structure.
