The synchronization of multiple master copy problem can be solved in 
specific cases but not recommended for general use. I concur with Brian. 
Don?t do it.

Why? Because you have do do active bi-directional synchronization between 
all the local master copies on each computer plus your NAS. If these 
bi-directional synchronization fails (H/W or S/W) while in progress, it will 
be messy to recover from.
