[plug] Constant rsync'ing...

[Trevor Phillips]

We run rsync from server to server to keep everything the same on all servers. 
We used to do this every 5 minutes. We now do it every 15 minutes. It's a 
performance hit! Lots of filesystem scanning and comparing, just to copy a 
couple of small altered files across.

Is there a better solution? Ideally, something daemon-ish, that 
auto-replicated changes, triggered by the filesystem itself? Or at least a 
more efficient way of finding recently modified files? (I'd rather not rely 
on datestamp - and it also needs to handle replicating file deletes...)

Any suggestions?
