Burned Out Light Bulbs

Not really. If you are willing to pay a little extra, Lutron (and maybe Leviton too) make "smart" dimmers that can be dimmed from either side of a 3-way switch and remember their previous positions. They presumably use an X-10 like signalling between the switches to keep them synced and avoid the problem of two dimmers in "series"

Hey, how about a simple series resistor. Cause about 10% of the drop to be across it, sufficient wattage. Anybody ready to calculate it for a 100 watt bulb? Wouldn't need any dimmers, synced or not.

Wouldn't be a soft start, s> > You are correct about there being no easy way to just use two off the

either

The Lutron Maestro or Faedra series, and the Leviton Mural, TouchPoint and True Touch series match your description. Earlier I suggested the Smarthome.com ToggleLinc and SwitchLinc multi-location dimmers.
