Well, by "continuous" I didn't actually really mean "continuous" but  
"periodic" or something :) Meaning you'd have to run dsync every time  
after something changes and separately for each user. So you could do  
a bit laggy replication using it, but it's not really the permanent or  
the most efficient solution for that.
