Configuration replication?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I am designing a single SharePoint 2003 farm for an 20K employee
enterprise with locations in the USA, Australia, and UK. WAN links are
VPN over the internet, and not totally predictable for performance, so
minimizing WAN traffic is a goal. I propose to replciate the config
database using transactional replication between SQL servers in the 3
locations. Each SharePoint WEB server would reference the local SQL
server for config. Has anyone tried this? Does the concept work? Can
the same be done for the index?
