Coda is not ready for production use, at least in my experience as a Coda developer :-). I would not recommend using Coda in the environment you describe, although Coda may eventually be the right solution for this kind of environment. There was work to get AFS working with disconnected clients (Arla has some code committed but I don't know how useable it is) -- at this point AFS requires a commercial solution although that also may change in the future. The end answer may be that there is no distributed file system solution that fits your needs at this time.
