	This is the first I've heard of Vindigo, so all I can say is
that no one has mentioned anything about it.
	You mention Malsync, but as far as I know, Malsync only deals
with AvantGo databases. From what I can tell from www.vindigo.com,
Vindigo is something completely different.
	So unless someone else pipes up, I'm afraid you're on your
own. You can, of course, write a standalone utility that fetches data
from Vindigo's central database. If you do this, it should then be
relatively straightforward to turn this utility into a ColdSync
conduit. In fact, if you can persuade this standalone utility to write
a PDB file, then you can simply run it as a cron job, and have
ColdSync's generic conduit take care of uploading the relevant data.
