If everyone is on a fast enough network, I've always liked the  master-master
MySQL cluster setup, but I don't think I've used it over long-haul links.  

I believe that if you do have a MySQL cluster in one location, you can
use that as a master for master-slave replication to a terciary.

btw, I can kick in a Xen VPS or two, if you are ok with a 10Mbps cap.
I'll have quite a bit of excess ram/cpu after this weekend.
