Redirect to different replica ID

I it possible to redirect to a database with a different replica ID?

I am new to Domino Administration and trying to get my hands around it.

I have 7 discussion databases in 7 locations that I would like to merge into one discussion database without interrupting the users too much. My idea(please tell me if I am off base). Would be to copy all the information into one central database, replicate the central databases to the other locations,(now the hard part)create a redirect to point to the newly created database instead of the previous one. Is this possible?

Any help pointing me into the correct direction is appreciated.

Thanks.
