 between instances of Orthanc. In particular, all these instances
 should share the same configuration.
 
+Furthermore, the core of Orthanc does not currently support the replay
+of database transactions, which is necessary to deal with conflicts
+between several instances of Orthanc that would simultaneously write
+to the database.
+
+As a consequence, as of Orthanc 1.5.7, when connecting multiple
+Orthanc to a single database by setting ``Lock`` to ``false``, there
+should only be one instance of Orthanc acting as a writer and all the
+other instances of Orthanc acting as readers only. Be careful to set
+the option ``SaveJobs`` to ``false`` in the configuration file of all
+the instances of Orthanc acting as readers.
+
+A refactoring is needed to improve the core of Orthanc in that
+respect, for which we are looking for funding/donation from the
+industry. Some issues reported in our bug tracker call for this
+refactoring: `issue 83
