Sorry, I didn't read your vertex replication example carefully, so my previous answer is wrong. Here's the correct one:

Vertices can be replicated individually without requiring the entire vertex partition to be replicated. In this case, here's what will get replicated to each partition: EA: a (from VA), b (from VA), c (from VA) EB: a (from VA), d (from VB), e (from VB) EC: c (from VA), d (from VB) Ankur <http://www.ankurdave.com/>
