It sounds like to do this safely you would need to run it through a program 
that takes turns writing to the data files per node 1st come first serve style
but don't ask me I really only read the BRE doc. Oh and this program would 
have to be made as I don't belive one exists. Or maybe it could be installed 
into two different directorys and after the second user is finished playing 
merge the data file. I had somthing like that going for a lord IGM years back 
with duel nodes. 
Best of luck make sure to post your results ;)
