IMO there's no better solution than rsync, besides somewhat more hardware / not that I'm aware of no. You could also build one fileserver able to serve nfs, store mail in maildir format and put 2 boxes online running mail/http daemons. Return one server get loadbalancer instead and put that online. That would be more my idea of having high-availability. Ofcourse you could also put a layer 3 switch in front of it instead of a loadballancer. Make sure the hardware of the fileserver is at least able to do raid 1 and has a dual powersupply. That will help the keep the thing up. Hth, Robert
