My initial hope is that we can get away with replicating the data, and 
using the existing SA protocol to keep it in sync.  For the example you 
gave, SA LID X could forward the set to the master SA before recording 
it locally.  SA LID Y would check with the master SA for the data if it 
weren't found local.
