Are you using it for just select queries, or is this a full 100% test (insert/update/delete) test environment?
I have both. In my case they are geographically separate. Production server at data center. Replicated "just in case," also at data center. At HQ, I replicate that for DR purposes. INTERNALLY (gigabit backend), I have another internal test server that I refresh FROM THE REPLICATED SERVER AT HQ on a regular basis. I use the replicated server to query stuff (select) and dump databases to the interaction test server regularly for full testing.
