user requirement:

     3 sites, separated by geographic distance.  
     using privately owned wire for network connectivity.
     any breakage of connection between sites, users can still get to
a database (i.e., database at each site).
     any breakage of database, users can still get to a database.
     databases must be within 30 minutes of in-sync with each other.

The customer started out talking about a solution (multi-mastered replication) instead of the requirements (listed above). Now that I have the requirements, I'm looking at options on how to meet them. As part of that work, thought I'd look to this community for ideas.
