Dear Kenneth,
did you ever consider looking at other technologies than the database
driven one? Javaspaces seems to me a very interesting solution for
handling distributed storage, and your case seems to be difficult to
handle from a database-centric point of view.
If you're interested, these urls might give you some pointers.

http://java.sun.com/products/javaspaces/ (Sun's own site)
Of course, you can/will have to connect database servers to the space for
persistent storage, but the importance for the database, a complex piece
of software, to be perfectly tuned is completely gone in such a model.
Sincerely,
Jan
