Have you tried integrating the distribution into your source code control system? This way, there is no "master" and "slave" server; there's a source repository and a collection of "public" servers. The public servers pull content from the repository, rather than having it pushed from the master. The public servers either poll the repository for updates, or you make the act of publishing a document include starting backgrounded update commands on all the public servers. This spreads the load out across all the servers, which helps keep them in sync with each other. I user perforce for this; you can read the official perforce white paper on web content management . I've got a FAQ that adds more to this topic somewhere. If you want, I'll chase down a pointer to it for you. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Unix/FreeBSD consultant, email for more information.
