Update on Using x sync and hot shoe to fire multiple flashes. If all else fails, read the instruction manual.

Well it was worth a try but it didn't work. No matter how I try when I pop up the on camera flash my flash wired to the x sync terminal does not fire. It seems the pop up flash disables the flash sync terminal.
The quickest and easiest fix may be to buy "Digital" slaves. I have several peanut slaves that I use to fire remote flashes. When I fire the camera with a manual flash attached, the slaves sense the original flash and fire the flash it is attached to. Digjtal slaves do exactly the same thing but somehow they ignore the pre-flashes that TTL auto flashes emit to determine the correct flash exposure before they fire.
