We did have a problem, we used completely local filesystems instead. Then set up several dynamic rsync connections to keep files synced across machines. Our files on the servers are never more than about 1 minute behind time. We use inotify: checksum and then copy files to a special directory on close if there is a change. rsync is called to update the remote file.
None of our files is huge, all less than 1MB. The remote boxes are in remote locations with only DSL or satellite available.
