I have been supporting NETBASE, which is SHAREPLEX if purchased directly
from QUEST as opposed to through HP, for some time. While it is fairly
intimidating (orignally) in actuallity it is fairly easy to run and use.

The main problems that we have experienced is not the going out of sync,
which can occassionally happen. No it is in making shure that you keep
all software upgrades in sync and that you orchestrate any code
enhancements.

Currently we have 3 masters shadowing to 3 slaves and plan on adding
more.

If I can be of any further help please ask.
