We're in a similar environment.  We have a 3494 ATL with 10 3590s backing
up ~100 Sparc 2000's and Various Riscs.  We also have several remote sites
with various hardware (HPs, Riscs, Sparcs, Linux Boxes, Solaris x86 Boxes,
etc) which are connect through a slow network.  We're having to put
seperate ADSM servers in the remote locations.  Supposedly v3 of ADSM will
allow for a heirarchical network of servers which can use each others
databases.  I don't know much about it beyond that it is planned, though.
