Dictionary.txt replication

Question

Hi, 
 
 I'm about to install QPM and deploy Password Policy Manager on 20 odd Domain Controllers. I'm reading up the QPPM documentation where it says while deploying QPPM, the agent installer creates the dictionary.txt on Sysvol effectively replicating it to other DCs. So, I have few questions: 
 
 1) If I edit the dictionary.txt on QPM server, will that not copy the changes to the dictionary.txt stored on the domain controller and secondary QPM server? 
 2) Will updating the file on one DC makes sures other DCs/QPM server gets a replicated copy? 
 Alternatively, can I point the dictionary.txt file to a folder share instead of a location on the local server itself? That way, both QPM servers sees the changes at the same time?
