[AccessD] "Faked" replication

Hi Gustav:

Sounds interesting, that might be the even be the best solution. :-)
Maybe we should compare notes one days.

As I said before I have not discovered a simple, 'out of the can' solution
to synchronization and every site had a whole new set of problems. Never did
enough to become a master but a fairly good cobbler...

Hi Jim

Quite an impressive list Jim! Of all those I have only dealt with
simple FTP transfer.

However you miss one async method: e-mail.
Neither is this bulletproof (but close) nor NESS (except on paper).
I've used that method for one project which has run and does run very
reliably.
This is for collecting statistics from remote resources once every
month so traffic is low of course. But through 2½ years it hasn't
failed a single time.
