Write-behind is not the right place to do that. It does not even know that 
volumes
underneath are replicated. Replicate module has options to turn off atomic 
writes
though.

Instead of making reliability an option, we are making it a must in 2.0, We are 
working
hard to achieve performance on top of it. 2.0.0RC4 release has some more 
improvements to
replicate's performance with atomic writes. One more set of improvements will 
come in RC5
release.

For remote site replication, we are planning on introducing (HSM) Hierarchical 
storage
management translator, that can sync on close or sync on write or even call an 
external
tool (that can gzip and rsync). Don't ask for any ETAs now. Our top priority is 
to make
2.0.0 stable release first :)

Anand Babu Periasamy,
    On the write-behind translator is there a way to wait for one of the
    AFR Replica's to get a close response and then finish replicated the
    data in the background (which write-behind currently does) and issue
    the close system call to the replica servers long after the
    application has moved on because at least one of the replicas is
    keeping up?

    Thanks
