A robust solution is to use database replication and then run your

We tried that, we use PostgreSQL and londiste, but when it decided to break it stayed broken. I spent weeks trying to get things to work again once it failed. That was only 2 databases, what would happen for the >25 databases that we have?

Unless someone dumps a large amount of cash in my lap I have to improve the situation we are in with what we have to hand rather than throwing money around.
