We utilize DRBD to replicate data between Vienna, Austria and Beaverton,
OR.  We use a "follow the sun" model, so whatever timezone has business
hours becomes the primary

So to answer your questions:

Yes it can, see above statement.

We use DRBD proxy which buffers the data to be replicated and alleviates
any issues we would normally experience due to the 200ms latency.
