To be clear, when you say "server", do you mean a Perforce server, or
do you mean a set of files that's used by some other kind of server (e.g. a
build server or web server), but that might potentially be managed by a single
Perforce server?  Frequently an installation that acts as a
"server" with respect to your customers is a "client" in
Perforce's topology, so it's important to distinguish which you're
talking about.

In terms of read/write capabilities, knowing more about the requirements would
be helpful for someone trying to propose a solution.  Is it safe to
assume network connectivity between the sites?  Do the two sites work
on the same set of files equally, or does each site "own" a somewhat
distinct body of data and make the bulk of the writes to it even though both
sites read all of it (a classic example would be having different modules
composing a single product where each module is owned by a particular team in a
particular location)?  What sorts of operations do you anticipate
being bottlenecks that will need to be optimized? 

Even a vague description of what you're working on would help suggest
answers to some of these questions.  How big is the team, are you
currently using Perforce at all, what kind of product are you
developing/deploying, etc...?
