Tridion OutboundEmail - Contact synchronization from several Presentation servers?

I'm facing a problem with OutboundEmail Synchronization for Contacts.

We have the following scenario : 2 load-balanced CMS servers and 3 load-balanced CDE web servers located in different data centers. Each CDE web server will have it's own SQL server for broker DB and OutboundEmail Subscription + Tracking DB.

If I install local OutboundEmail Subscription + Tracking DB on each CDE, how can I process the Contacts Synchronization from the 3 CDE servers, knowing that for a specific Tridion publication you can only specify 1 synchronization target containing 1 url to profilesync.aspx ?

And idem for Tracking Synchronization.

I must be missing something ...

Any suggestion please?

This scenario is currently not supported, we do support multiple presentation servers but as you mentioned you can only specify one synchronization target under a publication

without going into detail there were compelling reasons not to support this scenario at that point in time, but it is on our backlog

I can think of a couple of options to solve it in this version:

  • use one database, but i'm guessing the reason to split it up over 3 data-centers is for fail-over/redunancy and/or geographical reasons
  • setup synchronization/tracking on one server and replicate data to the other 2 databases, note that the replication needs to be bi-directional
