                                          This isn't something that sql server is traditionally good at. At least in comparison to some different datastores I've used. There are products such as CouchDB that have merge / merge synchronization as key principals.what kind of data needs synchronizing?How much delay is acceptable for cross country / continent replication?If you are storing session state or other key/value type information and need to synch that, then you may want to consider looking into a distributed key value store instead.Have a look at RIAK Enterprise.http://basho.com/riak-enterprise/I love riak's scaling model and how it performs under failure conditions.Transact CharlieMsg 3903..
