Thanks to all, a lot of food for though here.
 
Although I have no idea yet what the customer limitations are yet, the initial 
orientating question was very sparse regarding limits / bounderies, I will pass 
the suggestions onwards, and see what happens. If there is something to share, 
then I will via this resource. 
 
In the meanwhile, thanks, and new insights are welcome.
 
Marco

        Multi-master replication is a bitch (logically as well as technically). 
Ideally you want to know where / when data is updated; and if possible have a 
single master for each row, or at least a well understood conflict resolution 
policy.

I worked once on a multimaster replication implementation where we associated 
individual rows with the owning master site by assigning a series of numbers to 
each master site ... thus, EUROPE primary key might be between 1000000000 to 
1999999999; PACIFIC primary key ranged between 2000000000 to 299999999, etc.

It works great as long as you can be assured you're never going to run out of 
numbers.
