Hi Steve,
It sounds like your client needs a talking to! There is a technological
solution (replication) which has been extensively developed and tested,
and yet they want you to produce something which (not trying to be
nasty) won't be as thoroughly tested and validated?
I know that sometimes people come back with statements such as "I've
already said I can't do X", but can you tell us the reasons why the
clients have ruled out replication? Sometimes this helps in being able
to suggest alternatives (e.g. there may be alternate solutions which
would encounter exactly the same objections, so knowing the objections
helps us to frame suggestions that might be acceptable).
