i'm about to start working on using dbmirror for a project. i'd say that in
its current state, it's not complete, but it can be persuaded to serve in a
useful way. it lacks conflict resolution, and it currently replicates one
master to one slave (but can be coached into something more comprehensive.)
it also makes assumptions about the initial states of the databases
involved replication.
