This is how OMS works from Vision Solutions.  Doing this in one
direction, from a source to a target, is no problem.  But to allow
simultaneous asynchronous updates on two different machines, then try
to synchronize the two systems back together again after the fact
brings up a whole ton of issues.  If Lakeview can do this, then my
hat's off to them.
