Would it not be better to keep the mirrors read-only, and have them redirect
to the master for write-access? To have writing in several places causes
significant overhead in avoiding edit conflicts and such.
There is a lot of hypothesis and discussion here. Have you considered
that there are some 40-60 page views for every single edit? What about
using some real statistics instead of guessing? (Just my hypothesis.)
