Good to see a bit of late afternoon bigotry
Interbase is prob a good choice when it brings out replication (though that
wont be free)
MS SQL Supports 'merge replication' though it is not free either but they
are probably the best
'out of the box' solutions

Have a play with the ADO Shape Provider - This will actually work with any
ODBC capable database - it means you
can create heriachal datasets (grandparent -> child -> grandchild etc) and
export them to XML and email them arround!
Very little work
