Hi there

I'm quite new to the zookeeper project and got a question regarding
robustness of the failover functionality in a global deployment.

Are there any pre-conditions how close the zookeeper servers must be to each
other from a geographical distance point of view?
The reason is that the servers have to monitor and sync with each other in
realtime and the latency might play an important role if for instance one
server is in the US, one in Europe and one in China.

Thanks
Oli
