I suppose you mean something similar to Samba's "remote browse sync" option? I don't think it is feasible to implement something like this for mDNS. In contrast to SMB servers mDNS responders never compile something like a complete browse list, hence there is nothing two servers could exchange. Avahi already does forwarding of mDNS traffic between multiple interfaces. If latency is good enough you may use that to bridge two networks. Unicast DNS is definitely preferable when it comes to high latency links. There's no point in trying to modify mDNS in a way that it is capable of coping with high latency. There is already unicast DNS which is perfectly capable to deal with situations like that.
