Best practise for centralised configuration data when using local replica 
Many of my Notes apps lookup data from the Domino Directory and/or Corporate Directory to get company wide configuration data rather than duplicating this in each and every app. One thing that bothers me with this approach is that it makes offline replicas of these applications difficult because the configuration data is no longer readily available.

The simplest approach I can see is to either make the Domino Directory and/or Corporate Directory local replicas OR create a sync agent that pulls this central config data into the apps that require it.

Do the experts have any best practise advise when dealing with this type of situation?

Two approaches one could take:
  1. Move all of this config data from the Domino Directory into a separate barebones "config" database, which can be taken off-line, and have every app use this for its look-ups, or;
  2. Have the relevant Notes applications pull the required config data from the Domino Directory into a profile document (when connected to the server), and have the app's look-ups look at this profile document rather than at the Domino Directory itself.
