Way to make distant servers to appear to have the same data ?

What is the most effective, most robust way to allow servers that are quite distant, and on slow networks "appear" to have the same content ?

In my example, the content is read/write at 4 sites. Hopefully the system should make caching possible for files that were originally at another site. If a file were not already cached, then it would get loaded across the slow network.

redhat global file system appears to be designed to do this:

but then talks about storage area network or LAN connections rather than slow wan links.

I did see a few other projects designed to solve this sort of problem, but I am having trouble finding them now {search hints ?}

Has anybody used / appraised coda ?
