A couple have been devised, yes. Sun and UMich, at least, have
implemented incremental propagation schemes. We're looking into the
possibility of integrating an implementation into a future release,
though I couldn't tell you at this point when it might be released.
Also, Novell has contributed an LDAP-based database back end for the
KDC, with which one can implement replication at the LDAP layer.
That's shipping in our current release.
