I think what you describe is probably more properly implemented as some sort of queueing system. Something along the lines of setting up a queue on each data collection server that "lazily" updates the central server (there's other ways to structure it of course).
Otherwise, I myself would tend towards a "push" model, since that's really more in line with how most web development is done. So, have the data collection servers push the records to the central server instead, whether queues are involved or not.
Frank, Jack, Thanks for your thoughtful answers. I have what I need to get started. Phil
