Tom, Despite that some others may have managed to make this work for them I'll have to advise strongly against it. The way MLO locks and updates it's file (despite it being basically an XML file that *should* work) it will NOT play nicely. If you had just two devices, and you swore on a stack of bibles that you could only ever have one of them open at a time, I'd still tell you to proceed with caution and make sure you have stacks of good backups. With three devices, there's a very good chance you will one day find yourself very unhappy. At that point there is also a chance that things go from bad to worse (you find MLO's autobackups corrupted by sync too).
So for what they're worth, my 2c are just bite the bullet and go with cloud sync. I spent many months trying to make wifi, cloud, local/hybrid cloud and other sync methods work for me and then for me and my assistant (just two PCs). In the end it was all shit, so where MLO is concerned I think that their cloud sync is really the only way.
