Understood, that's why I'm looking for input. I'd like to come up with a
reliable system, even though it's necessarily going to be a hair or two
behind the 'live' databases.

A mirror would help if the primary server was unreachable.
The problem being reported NOW is the spewage of data that claims

for verification, and THEN commit" mode, the mirror will be spewing
the same broken data.
