The primary difference between N-Way Multi-Master and Mirror Mode is that 
Mirror Mode is limited to two masters. Thus, it seems only N-Way is suitable 
for you. However, I would have considered a configuration with 3 masters (to 
reduce the network traffic, while still allowing each site to write, and 
having read redundancy in the site).
