Abstract: A system and method for synchronizing database information over a communications network distributed among a plurality of servers. The system allows each server to track the state of a replica on each of the servers, and changes to the servers are communicated between the servers along with their states. The states may be stored as an array of timestamps, the timestamps each indicating a time at which the replica on each server was updated. In a network wherein two servers (a first and third server) cannot communicate directly, a first network server transmits a change to an intermediate (a second) server including its state information. The second server transmits the change to the third server, and the third server updates its replica. The third server transmits its state information to the second server, and the timestamp information is conveyed to the first server. The state information of the third server may be transmitted to the second server during later updates of the third server's replica.
