Bi-Directional Transactional replication?

Has anyone successfully implemented Bi-Directional Transactional replication?
The documentation on BoL is very limited and there are not too many info
available outside too. We are planning to have active-active SQLServers, that
needs dynamic transactional replication.
I would really appreciate practical advise on BiDirectional Transactional
Replication?
Attention : Paul Ibison and JD . This is the same thread that I created
last month. I couldn't find a way to bump it up so that it becomes active
again. I did also change the subject a little bit, so that it is clear.
I have, it is pretty solid, but is not resilient to schema changes. Also
conflicts can be a pain, so the more you partition your data the easier life
will be for you.

|||HC,
Do you have the Bi-Di trans repl described in detail in your book? Are there
samples in there?
Please let me know.
Thanks,

well.

I did see the udpated BOL and also an article from www.SqlMag.Com that
talked about BDT replication.

BiDirectional Replication

Has anyone successfully implemented Bi-Directional Transactional replication?
The documentation on BoL is very limited and there are not too many info
available outside too. We are planning to have active-active SQLServers, that
needs dynamic transactional replication.
I would really appreciate practical advise on BiDirectional Transactional
Repl.
This should help:

|||Paul,
I did already find this info from BoL.
I am looking for someone who has done this already. I spoke to a few DBAs
who haven't heard of this, but they have implemented Transaction Repl before.

|||This info is not in BOL - there are many setup scripts in the links I
posted. I have implemented it but didn't like the fact that I had to write
my own conflict resolvers and opted for merge instead, despite its overall
slower transfer rate (unless you are updating the same row many times I
would expect this to be generally the case). Also, schema changes will be
more restrictive. Hilary had implemented it in his work, so he can probably
add more if you want to go down this path.

|||Thanks, Paul. I do appreciate your time.
Hillary, Can you please shed some light on this?
PS : Paul : The updated BoL is available as a download contains the link
that you specified in your first response. I thought of providing this info,
so that people are aware of the availability of the updated BoL.
