Symmetric Replication

All,

I have recently been tasked to implement a Symmetric Replication environment for a client. I have attended the 5-day SymRep course provided by Oracle and have just finished reading Oracles white paper on "Strategies and Techniques for Using Oracle7 Replication". I had a couple of questions and was hoping someone could provide answers/opinions or direct me to the appropriate sources.

        o  What are the potential issues/"gotchas" involved with the
           following
           configuration.



                - One (1) master site (Corporate Site) and 50-75 updatable


                  snapshot sites (Remote 
Stores)                                                         


                - OLTP environment


                - Different timezones

                - 56K - T1 network connections to Corporate site



        o  I noticed on page 25 of Oracles white paper "Strategies and
           Techniques for Using Oracle7 Replication" references to
           to a snapshot administrator and to grant_admin_repschma
           and was wondering if thesewere still the way to go if
           I was using Oracle 7.3.2.2.  If not was is the correct
           usage.

        o  Is there more information available on Symmetric Replication
           in general and Symmetric Replication implementation issues
           specifically.

Thank you for your time in answer these questions.

Regards,
