Sorry Lee.

I'm interested strictly in ADAM to ADAM repl/sync of client application data
between WinXP clients (no AD or AD identity informaton ...and ideally
without having to use a central server).

Re: for production infrastructure you would want a W2003 server based ADAM
instance

It all depends on your functional requrements and design goals. It's too
easy to get locked into an AD mindset when thinking about ADAM. :-)\
