mnesia replication

[Serge Aleynikov]

Folks,

I have a master mnesia database (disc_copy) and N replicas on different 
nodes (ram_copies).  Is it possible to postpone mnesia replication from 
the master node to replicas, make data changes to the master, perform 
some data validation and cleanup, and then force the replicated nodes to 
resynch?

Is this a good approach in terms of avoiding extensive locking overhead 
in trying to load multiple tables with preserving referential integrity 
of data accross several tables?

Thanks,

Serge
