Guy, Interesting scenario. A couple of thoughts come to mind. What kind of data? Are these two instances of the same database that need to sync somehow? If so how fast does it need to happen? Is this a 'discussion' with each db sending and receiving or more of 'fyi'? And how much data are you looking at?
I have zero experience with ODBC so no idea if that would be good. I suppose you could agree on some obscure ports and use send/receive packet. Or use http calls between the two. This would give you a real-time connection. If you don't need that I'd go with setting up the 'watched folder' idea and some sort of disk file.
