Hi,

My boss asks me to create linked server between servers located in different domains and let a client from a third domain to connect to one server and read data of another server. So far as I know, domains should trust each other to let such linked servers work, while in our situation we can't let domains trust each other. Still, my boss needs online data from two servers.
Now, please help me to choose a different solution, cause none of replication, mirroring, warehousing etc. let online (without delay) data.
Any idea or comment is appreciated.

Cant you use transactional replication?

Thanks for the reply Visakh
Transactional replication, synchronizes data at the specified intervals (am I right?) so that's not acceptable for our boss.
He says every time the application shall display the real data from all servers!

then i think you might have to use distributed transactions

so far as I've concluded, by distributed transactions we have the same data in both servers; am I right?
