Can an availability group secondary db be a replication publisher

  • Hi All,
    I have a 3 node AOAG setup:
    Primary Site: Node1 and Node2
    DR Site: Node3

    I want to be able to present a transactional database via replication as we have some major querying to do.
    I cannot touch the Node1 or Node2 for the job only DR. So My question is can I setup the DR (Node3, ReadOnly) as a publisher to a subscriber on another box?
    Any suggestions or is this a straight NO?
    thanks

    Sorry, if the DB is in AG, I don't think you can do it since DR is NOT writable. You probably need other solutions, such as SSIS package, etc.
