I am not sure if this is the right forum (if it is not please suggest the right one.)

I am trying to design an application that will run in a location with intermittent connectivity. I want data from this intermittently connected location to a master location which has a master database.

I explored and found Google Gears is a good solution for offline applications. But how would it scale up if i have a distributed system (lots of intermittently connected locations which update the single master database).

I would like to know if there are any web application that conforms to such a requirement.
