Again, you get to look up the options for major domo to alleviate the problem.

Agreed. especially if they are supposed to hold the same data set.

Depends. I've used "extranet" connections that worked quite well. If
you can talk your hosting provider(s) into setting them up for you
they're still way cheaper than having monstrous database servers all
over the place.
You can also look into using a VPN connection between hosting centers.
This would go across the regular old internet but have the advantage
of making it look, from a networking perspective, like your machines
were sitting next to each other (except for the increase in latency of
course).
