It was a couple weeks ago but IIRC the admin server on the second
master would not run properly.  I will really have to try it again
to confirm.

So basically I should have my two multimasters run independent admin
servers?  I did notice that I can admin the other "independent"
secondary master with the 'left over' entry in the config DB of
the primary (it was left there after I redid the secondary since
the I left the primary).  This suggests I could probably add each
of the two master to each other's config DB manually.  I'm not really
sure that this is even useful though in a small install.  Probably
best to leave them as separate admin servers with the userRoot
replicated; that seems to work just fine.
