No, you can't. If you want to have multiple copies of a DB, consider
log-shipping or peer-to-peer replication.

We are currently running SQL server 2005 on two servers. One server is in
head office, and the other one is in the Disaster Recovery site. I'm using
SQL Mirroring to mirror the databases in the head office to the SQL server
in the DR site, and it works fine. My question is: Can I mirror the
databases on the head office SQL server to a third server? In other words,
can I have the Principle database mirrored to Two other mirror servers?
