Hi,
I'm not aware of any specific tool, but from what you
write, it seems you can handle it by:
1. Enable binlogging on all "slaves"
2. Have the "offsite master" connect as slave to one "slave" at
the time in a round-robin fashion. For this you need to
write a script.
3. When closing each connection you need to record what the binlog
position was so that next connection will resume where the
old one left off.
At the same time you could have replicaton from the "offsite master"
to the "slaves" with a restiction on what tables etc should be
replicated. Note that care must be taken so that you don't
replicate same information back-and-forth between a
"slave"-"offline master" connection. This can be done by
ensuring that different slaves are responsible for updating
different data and each "slave" only receive updates on
tables it is not "responsible" for.
Best wishes,
Lars
