Replication writes

[Phill O'Flynn]

I currently have a Master/Master replication set up between work and home so I can work at home and have an offsite backup. The network conection is maintained via ssh but frequently drops out. As a result there are errors if I don't check it before I start work at either location (I'm usually consistent with that .. but sometimes not so much). I'm using ms access as frontend via odbc

I'm thinking of reverting to a master/slave setup to avoid replication errors but...
If I "write" to a slave, will that request automatically be directed to a master or do have to "write" to the master explicitly? And what happens if the ssh tunnel fails?
