We are setting up a series of Nexus servers and our current model is to use one as the primary server and on the other remote servers use proxy repositories pointing back to the primary. This works fine when the proxy repository on the secondary server is pointing to a hosted repository on the primary server. Searches using the `service/rest/v1/search/assets` endpoint against the secondary server return a list of the items on the primary. However if the proxy repository on the secondary server is pointing to a group on the primary server then the `service/rest/v1/search/assets` endpoint on the secondary server returns an empty list of items.

Is it possible to use a proxy repository on one server to point to a group on another server? If so what is needed to make this work?

Thanks!
