Transparent replication of DB2 data on WAN ?

Our organization is in the process of moving away from an architecture which relies solely on DB2/MVS to store and CICS/MVS to access trusted corporate data. The option currently favoured by management and heavy weight users is to replicate DB2 data onto DOZENS of databases on a WAN.

Before I double my life insurance, can anyone tell me whether any vendor provides a solution which will more or less transparently synchronize replicas either continuously or at pre-determined intervals? Has anyone actually done this?

Can System 10 do it?

Can Oracle handle replication transparently at all?

BTW, is any DBMS vendor besides IBM supporting or planning to support DRDA? manuel fan
