Indirect Synchronization without Synchronizer on Server



Here's the situation;

1) Not allowed to install Jet Synchronizer on server, but can install
it on remote PCs.
2) Can't add a desktop to the LAN to handle synchronization in lieu of
the server.
3) Assume 4 locations. The server that will be used by all locations
is at Location 1. Access to this server is quite fast for any user at
Location 1 as it is on a LAN network. The other locations probably
include a WAN in the network to access the server at Location 1.

So I'm wondering if the following is a possibility.

1) Locate the common dropbox for the synchronization messages from the
remotes on the server. Is it then possible to somehow send these
messages to the dropbox of each user so that they can synchronize with
these messages. This would avoid the need to have the Jet Synchronizer
on the server. The server would have the dropbox, but any messages
deposited in it would then somehow be forwarded (pushed or pulled) to
each user's machine and the synchronization done at each remote
machine.
2) It would still, however, be desirable to have a replica on the
server that could serve as a means for making new remote replicas as
needed. So how about having one of the users at Location 1, which has
the fast LAN including the server, create the replica for the server
and use direct synchronization with that copy to keep it uptodate.
Only a user on the server's LAN would do this (i.e Location 1); no
direct synchronization over WANs or dial-ups.

Can this work??
