If this is a fixed set of servers with static IP addresses, you just need to configure each CouchDB instance with a couple of persistent replications to its ‘neighbors’. This configuration might have to be updated periodically if servers are added or moved, but that shouldn’t be a big job. What you’re saying is more applicable to a dynamic environment like a set of home computers or mobile devices. “Mesh networking” does usually refer to such situations, but I think the OP is using “mesh" in a more general sense. —Jens
