# PreserveDREADD

Stops the Distributed Index Handler from turning incoming DREADD actions into DREADDDATA actions. This option reduces network load by sending only the path to the IDX file to child servers, rather than streaming all the contents of the IDX file.

You can use this parameter only in simple mirror or non-mirror mode. You must ensure that all child servers are able to access the file system containing the IDX file using the same file path.
