Synchronizing multiple staging servers creates additional tasks

I have two staging servers (staging 1 and staging 2) and two production servers (prod 1 and prod 2 in a web farm). I make a simple content change on staging 1 and it creates a single task that I then synchronize to staging 2. On staging 2, there are now 4 tasks that I then synchronize to prod 1 (which then auto synchronizes with prod 2 via the web farm configuration). This process works great but I am just curious why 1 task turns into 4 when synchronizing multiple servers as described above?

How is the staging configured? Is it 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4? I think that something from somewhere is pointing back to server 2 - are you using bi-directional staging? Is you setup one of the supported ways of staging? Best regards, Juraj Ondrus

RE:Synchronizing multiple staging servers creates additional tasks

I found the answer via Edward Hillard:

The first task is only updating the document itself since the page template and categories are automatically updated on the original server, but the second server doesn’t know about the original template changes, so the additional staging tasks are created to update the page template and categories.
